Mozzarella chicken

 Mozzarella  cheese  Parmesan chicken

I like to try different type of recipes.When I go to the library always search for cook book.One day  I brought a cook book from the library and my son pointed   a picture of chicken and he request me to prepare that. It was a picture of Golden Parmesan Chicken. I did  not find  all that ingredients in my refrigerator at that time. There the main ingredient was Parmesan cheese.So I tried with my ingredients  to prepare the Parmesan chicken without Parmesan Cheese.
