Mom's Favorite Chicken Dinner

Who doesn't love chicken? It's delicious, inexpensive, and easy to prepare. For Mother's Day, make my foolproof Parmesan Chicken. Everybody (except Mom, of course) can pitch in and help. Let the little ones mix the bread crumbs with the other ingredients. Older children can coat the chicken, and Dad should put it in and take it out of the oven.

A simple salad and some classic potatoes round out the menu. Since this is a more casual meal, use the everyday dishes, but make sure there's a bouquet of flowers or pile of presents at Mom's place. Have a wonderful dinner!

Mom's Favorite Chicken Dinner

• Parmesan Chicken
  So many reviewers can't be wrong! This is the most popular recipe on the site, and with good reason. It's super easy and super delicious.
• Sour Cream Scalloped Potatoes
  I love scalloped potatoes, but I hate peeling and slicing whole potatoes. So I decided to dress up a boxed mix. You won't be able to tell this decadent recipe started with a mix!
• Buttered Baby Carrots
  This simple recipe is the perfect accompaniment to the crisp chicken and rich potatoes. You can use big carrots sliced about 1/3" thick instead of the baby carrots if you'd like.
• Strawberry Spinach Salad
  Strawberries and spinach really are the perfect salad combination, as odd as it may sound. And the dressing for this salad is easy and delicious.
• Strawberry Mint Dessert
  This easy make-ahead dessert is a delicious and sweet ending to this meal. Make sure to start it a couple of days ahead of time.
