We invited my in-laws for dinner last night at the last minute.  I needed something quick and easy and I had some chicken legs in the fridge already.  Roasting them with a flavorful coating was the perfect choice so I had time to do everything else (like unload the dishwasher, set the table, prep the veggies, and take pictures of this new recipe).

I serve this easy parmesan crusted chicken with roasted vegetables.  Last night about 10 minutes after the chicken went into the oven I put in the second tray with cauliflower and chopped onions drizzled with olive oil and salt. Ten minutes later I put in a third tray with asparagus.  Everything was done at the same time and roasting the vegetables really brings out their flavor.

  8. This recipe is amazing! Easy trick...put all ingredients in a ziplock bag, add the chicken (I use 8 boneless, skinless thighs) and shake. Press the parmesan cheese on to the chicken. You can freeze it right in that bag, or separate into 2 - 3 bags (depending on the size of your family) or bake right away.

  10. Hi, your recipe sounds amazing! Can't wait to make it. Is the parmesan cheese the kind in the green can, or the freshly grated parmesan cheese?

  14. Delicious! I love Parmesan cheese as a crust. I have tried to mix Parmesan with macadamia nut flour, but that changes the taste completely. I am going to try it with your herb mix.I am grateful that you "found" me on Twitter. :-)
