Chad's Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan

Chad's Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan

This recipe actually combines a couple of our other recipes. Chad's basic marinara sauce and Gluten Free Chicken Cutlet, both of which can be made ahead of time. We highly recommend making the marinara sauce because that is what makes the recipe so delicious. I'll include all of the ingredients here so you can see what's required at a quick glance.

Marinara sauce Ingredients
1 small bulb of garlic (use more or less garlic to taste - we love garlic)
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

28 oz can Whole Peeled Tomatoes (from Italy are delicious - fresh tomatoes are best)

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)

1/8 teaspoon Pepper (or to taste)

1/2 Tablespoon dried basil

Additional Ingredients
