Chicken Parmigiano: Birthday Challenge
Each year my husband requests a special dish for his birthday. Last year it was chicken parmigiano.
Even though we are on different diets, in my home we partake in one family meal. This way, we come together energetically - we share the same space, breathe the same air and eat the same food.
My older son asks to have this chicken parm dish every week; for some reason (probably differentiation) my younger son complains about it, and then inevitably devours it. Enjoy.

We have recently gone off of all refined sugars, wheat, grains, beans, potatoes, and are working on the dairy. We tried this chicken dish last night and loved it. The kids have asked that it be apart of our regular menu.
One question: Have you tried to fry the chicken in Olive Oil? I am wondering if the olive oil would be to strong for this dish. The butter tasted great, but I would rather have the fats from the olive oil.

Christine -I would suggest using a combo of 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 grapeseed oil in place of the butter; I find that this approximates both the burning point and flavor of butter and works nicely for sauteing. Elana
