We all have those family favourite recipes, that are always in rotation and that everyone gets excited about, when they yell, “what’s for dinner?”  In our house, one of those recipes is Chicken Parmesan. It takes no time to throw together and the combination of chicken and pasta is perfect for weeknight dinners, before sports practices or games, or a nice Sunday supper on the weekend. 

I recently cleaned and organized my pantry. Like…took EVERYTHING out….got rid of all the expired items and things I knew we just weren’t going to use. I gave the shelves a good cleaning and then was on a mission to give my pantry a bit of a makeover.

I started by storing a lot of items like pasta, rice, and my baking products in jars. This makes it looks cleaner and allows us to easily see what we have. I love the minimal look of it and it honestly makes me feel so much calmer, when I open it up.

The ingredients in this Chicken Parmesan recipe are things I generally have on hand and in my pantry.  I pick up up chicken breasts when they are on sale and paired with a nice green salad, dinner is ready!

I like to use no name Simple Check products when I make Chicken Parmesan, as I know I’m getting quality ingredients for a lot less. Their pasta and sauces are a staple in my pantry. With their easy to spot labels and my glass jars, it makes planning our weekly menu, so simple and efficient.

Is your pantry in need of a purge/cleaning? I highly recommend it! I can’t stop opening mine and just staring at it…LOL! It feels so good to have that done before the holidays!
