One of my favourite chicken recipes that Krystle makes is a Chicken Parmesan, hands down. I love the salty, cheesy, ooey-gooey, sauce-filled bliss.  So when I found this super easy, lots of cheesy saucy goodness, I knew it was something I could make.

Stuffed Chicken Parmesan 
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, butterflied 
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 
1 cup garted parmesan cheese 
1 cup+ pasta sauce 
1-2 cloves garlic, diced 
basil, to taste 
salt, pepper, to taste

Directions:
Carefully slice chicken breasts in half, keeping them in-tact, so they open like a butterfly.
Salt and pepper liberally, add garlic (if you like extra garlicky chicken parm, you can add as much as 2 cloves per chicken breast!)
Add sauce and cheeses, as well as some chopped basil (I put in whole basil leaves- but that is up to you and how much basil you like.)
Wrap in foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Open foil pouch and add a handful of cheese to the top.
Continue baking with foil open for another 15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.
Top with additional chopped basil.
Enjoy!

This delicious, lighter chicken parmesan is baked to cheesy perfection!

Mmmmm. It's that time of year when I start thinking comfort food and this one looks like it fits the bill!

Too funny! I JUST made this last night- the exact thing that you blogged before I even knew you were going to write about it. We must be related. ;)
