Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Cheers2Wine is pleased to bring you this Chicken Parmesan recipe. This popular Italian dish serves 4. Who doesn't love the combination of chicken and cheese?

This hearty dish is a personal favorite and requested often when our grown children come visiting.

Wine Pairing: Pinot Grigio would be an excellent dry white wine to pair with this dish. Use the same wine as you prepare the meal. Consider the Estate Grown Pinot Grigio from Avio Vineyards in Amador County. This Tuscan style wine has flavors of crisp green apples with a slightly sweet finish. It's a lovely wine. If you can't find Avio's Pinot, Chateau Ste. Michelle makes a nice Pinot Gris that should be easy to find. Both would be excellent paired with this Italian dish.
