Keto chicken parmesan

So easy and so delicious! My boyfriend loves chicken parmesan and he was in love with this recipe. (Takes a lot to impress him) and it was a perfect amount of food. I don’t really like pasta but my boyfriend loves it so I decided to try the whole wheat noodles and they were delicious!! It is much healthier to make them your self but it is allot more difficult so I would just recommend buying it at any grocery store. Here is the website for the whole grain pasta. website- https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/72525/whole-wheat-pasta/
