Turn classic chicken Parm into muffins

Turn the classic chicken Parm comfort dish into muffins for a quick bite.

Chicken Parm is one of those classic dishes everyone knows and loves, and yet you couldn’t pay me enough money to order it off a restaurant menu. I love the flavors, but the drenched-in-grease, fried plate drowning in sauce and cheese that comes out of far too many places does the dish no justice. These muffins combine all the delicious elements of chicken Parmesan minus the frying. Serve them over pasta, alongside some spaghetti squash if you’re looking for a healthy option or even on top of a salad.
