There’s a reason why chicken is one of the most popular meats out there: It’s lean, flavorful, and super versatile. You can opt for chicken thighs when you’re feeling more indulgent and want a super juicy piece of meat, or you can choose to go down a healthier road, which is where chicken breast comes in. This recipe shows that chicken breast doesn’t have to be dry and flavorless, because these cutlets get dunked in a delicious, herbaceous parmesan cheese marinade and are then served with a beautiful white wine and parmesan sauce. Winner winner, chicken dinner!
