This delicious stuffed chicken parmesan is absolutely perfect for those date nights at home. My husband and I love date nights at home where we can have a cozy and romantic dinner without having to go anywhere. This is also a favorite dish to serve when we have an Italian dinner party. Serve it with some penne or a garden salad and garlic bread, makes it a hearty flavorful dinner.
