There are many recipes for chicken Parmesan. One evening I was in a hurry for dinner. I had boneless, skinless chicken thighs and Parmesan cheese in the refrigerator and canned crushed tomatoes in the cabinet. I put together this easy dinner.
Frozen peas and whole wheat spaghetti completed the meal. I keep frozen vegetables on hand for when I don't have time to go to the market. The peas cook in the same pot with the spaghetti.
The Parmesan cheese is cut into thin slices instead of grated and melts on top of the chicken and sauce.
