This is one of my favorites and it's popular at Olive Garden, although I'm personally not a fan of the OG. It's not Italian to me but their chicken
parmesan is popular I decided to make this meal the other night. It's pretty quick and easy, it took me longer because I lack a full kitchen! The
chicken I think next time though I will use my Fry Daddy instead of the stove top.

In a small pan steam broccoli and mushrooms together.
