Chicken Parmigiana

This is seriously the best of the best when it comes to not wanting to cook something terribly hard but still not something too boring. DO NOT under any circumstances use chicken breast, ALWAYS use thigh. This leads to a much juicier tastier meal. OK, so first you cook the thigh on one side, then you flip it over and put the cheese on, Mozzarella of course. Then pour Parmigiana sauce onto each bit of chicken. Let the chicken cook a while longer until you are pretty sure it's nearly cooked all the way through. THEN, you turn the heat down and put a lid over your saucepan and let it simmer. What happens is the cheese melts properly, the sauce becomes infused with all the chicken juices, the chicken with the sauce, to some extent, and there you have it. Also anything left over in the pan should be put on a side dish of pasta, tastes great. YUM!
