Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Peppers are a low carb dream come true! All the flavor of our favorite Italian dinner without all the guilt!
I was 18 years old when I got married. Which actually worked out great for us and we have no regrets.
I just think it’s worth mentioning, because at 18 I had no interest in cooking. My husband and I ate an awful lot of Hamburger Helper, frozen pizza, and canned ravioli for dinner.
Honestly, I’d never even heard of chicken Parmesan the first time my husband requested it for dinner. Did it come in a can? Because if not, he was probably in for some disappointment.
