My husband and have been getting sick of cooking the same ole’ meals week after week so we started doing some experimenting in the kitchen. Sure we’ve tried a few recipes that we found online but we also came up with some ideas that sounded good and gave them a try. This?Spinach Bacon & Cheese Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breasts recipe was one of those experiments and it just happened to turn out delicious; so incredibly tasty that?I just had to make it again to share with you through this post that I’ve partnered with Birds Eye vegetables to write. As always, all opinions are my own.
But before we get to the recipe, I want to tell you all about the #GreenMySchool program that Birds Eye vegetables and the Environmental Media Association have partnered for. Vegetables are such an important part of our diets and daily nutritional need so the #GreenMySchool program partners with celebrities like Constance Zimmer, star of Lifetime’s UnREAL, who travel back to their hometowns to plant gardens with students.
