Baked Parmesan Chicken

Now that I'm an official Stay-at-Home Mom, my husband kindly informed me that cooking is a great way to use up some of my free time.  So I've been trying some new recipes and have found some really good ones.  This is probably my favorite so far. I serve it with grilled asparagus and corn on the cob.  (recipe adapted from MyKitchenEscapades)
