Today’s recipe is another one of my family’s favourites: Parmigiano Reggiano Tomato Chicken. It is a very simple dish with the colours and all the flavours of Italy: tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil. Like all simple dishes, the quality of the ingredients you use to make it is really important. Try and use authentic Parmigiano Reggiano for this, it makes all the difference between an average dish and a super tasty one! My kids particularly enjoy this chicken and I usually serve it with my Ciabatta bread to scoop up all that delicious sauce. Enjoy it and buon appetito!
