Chicken is my BFF

I have always loved chicken. Any kind of chicken, I don't care. Fried, grilled, baked, strips, nuggets, tenders, breasts... I love it all. I was obviously thrilled to find a chicken recipe in our first Hello Fresh box! Tonight I followed the Panko Parm Poulet with Potatoes recipe.
