Chicken Recipe

I love using chicken thighs with the skin ON for this recipe to get that crispy skin with the added parmigiano cheese on top to add even more of a crisp top. You can also use chicken breasts. The result will still be delicious!

Finish in the OVEN

The key to getting that extra crispy skin on top is to finish the dish in the oven. I put the pan in the oven on broil for about 4-8 minutes until the skin is nice and brown and the sauce is bubbly. When you place the pan in the oven under the broiler make sure to watch it carefully as all broilers are a little different.
