Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken
Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken is one of those everyone-should-know-how-to-make recipes. It’s easy and comes together quickly. In fact, it’s hard to mess up!
This Tuesday, I’m not thinking about too much too serious (except for dessert, of which I eat a lot recently). The past few days, I end a day with a sweet treat and start right up the next morning with a craving for the same thing.
Whether it’s fruit, chocolate bar, or baked treats. Or, more commonly, all three!
While I like both sweet and savory foods, my taste buds definitely tilt to the sweeter side. So, I guess now would be a great time for obligatory savory dish just to cut down some of the sugar cravings. Like if it’s possible to … 🙂
I’ve been very lazy about cooking lately and even lazier about searching for easy-to-make dishes. Fortunately, I keep a pin board with ** FOOD BLOGGERS BEST ** recipes that I can always fall back on and see if any leap out at me.
With 10 minutes of prep time and around 40 minutes of baking time – it’s totally true and totally amazing, making this dinner is probably even less work than going out or getting takeout, and– HELLO! It’s Chicken breasts, parmesan and paprika baked in the oven with a drizzle of butter!
What’s not to love?!
