Parmesan Panko Crusted Chicken

Parmesan Panko Crusted Chicken by Jennifer Holman

If you haven't discovered panko bread crumbs yet, find them. In my opinion, they are so much better than regular bread crumbs.

Cucumber Tomato Bites by Jennifer Holman

The hardest part of this recipe? Hands down, finding the phyllo cups. They seem to be something that not all grocery stores carry - in fact I had to go to three different stores. I found them at Meijer but I know that I have seen them before at Kroger, but of course not when I'm looking for them. You can find them in the freezer…

I had a couple blocks of cheese, half a loaf of bread, and some apples on hand the other night so I decided to throw this together. The pepper jack cheese is…
