SAWCLicious: Baked Parmesan Chicken

I'm very fortunate that my job allows me to work from home every Tuesday and Friday. While it is always nice to have this benefit, I also have to worry about what to eat especially since I'm alone. It's always bad when I don't have left-over in the fridge that you can reheat as it means I need to cook. Thus, I would normally find recipes that are easy to make. My favorite is to find dishes that I can just stick a pan into the oven and let it cook worry-free while I work. It also means less cleaning afterwards.

Baked Parmesan Chicken is a common recipe you find in the Internet. I changed a bit by using Japanese Bread Crumbs since that's all I got. I also used the Kraft Parmesan cheese that you can find easily in the grocery and I used thigh fillet since I got to find some in the grocery (which I rarely do here in Brussels!) I must say, I really love this dish! This could be my WFH recipe starting today!
