Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Very easy for this non cooker to do. Used a sweet honey barbecue sauce with all other listed ingredients. Chicken was very tender, wife absolutely loved it. This one is definitely going into my dinner rotation. Can't wait to try other sauces / toppings!

Love this recipe! Cut some up for my 10 month old son too and he loved it. Planning on using the leftovers in a barbeque chicken wrap.

I put the chicken on the grill, but turning it was a problem, but turned out ok.

Quick and easy recipe. Even our granddaughter, who won't eat anything with barbecue sauce or onions, ate this.
