I have a divided house when it comes to choosing what to make for dinner.
I'm #teamveggie and my fiancé is #teammeat, so meal planning can be extremely difficult sometimes.
I'm always in search of meals that will accommodate all of our tastes and these Chicken/Eggplant Parmesan recipes are perfect for that!
Different main ingredients but the rest are the same which makes preparing these meals super easy and convenient.
Pair these dishes with fresh green beans, a side of pasta, and your favorite wine!
