Chicken Parmesan
“Chicken Parm” is a much loved and popular Italian dish. Rich tomato sauce, juicy chicken breasts and cheese baked and served with Caesar salad.
Chicken Parmesan
Decades ago, when diagnosed with Celiac’s, there were very few bread options. So, we changed a family favorite and left the bread crumbs off the chicken. It became the new normal and again a family favorite, saving calories and carbs! There is always Caesar Salad nearby.

- 1 680 ml can (710 gr) Hunt’s Tomato Sauce

Notes
Rich Tomato Sauces and Parmesan Cheese pair beautifully with Medium Bodied Reds. Think Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes from Italy. We’ve honestly never paired Chicken Parmesan with a white wine.
We’ve paired Chicken Parmesan with:
- Barone Cornacchia Montepulciano d”Abruzzo
- Brunello de Montalcino
- Chianti Classico
- Valpolicella Ripasso
- Fattoria dei Barbi Chianti
