Parmesan Chicken Bites

We’re deep into the heart of college football season, and it’s getting exciting. My two favorite teams are sitting at #1 and #2 in their division. Love it!

I also love that I get to tailgate at home instead of freezing outdoors at the actual games. I wear jammies, wrap myself up in a blanket and enjoy my favorite game day foods, like pizza and my Parmesan Chicken Bites – bite-sized boneless chicken bites, cooked to a crisp and topped with Parmesan and melted cheese.

Good stuff, Maynard.
