Paleo Chicken Parmesan

EXTRA CRISPY! That’s how I like my Chicken Parmesan. Just like Post Malone! Haha! This is a classic meal that our son requests very frequently. Anything with tomato sauce has his attention! Haha! That is definitely his weak spot. Because of my Iron Deficiency Anemia, I crave tomatoes frequently. An insatiable craving for tomatoes or tomato products is known as tomatophagia. Food cravings, including tomatophagia, is a common side-effect of iron deficiency anemia. Tomatoes are a nutrient-dense food, rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. Do you crave tomatoes often? What is your favorite dish containing tomatoes? I want to know!
