Hearty good flavors make up this weekday meal, which, while not classically “comfort food” is plenty comfortable on the old senses. Chicken gets pounded flat (so there's that much more to taste and love!), then panko'ed, Parmesan'ed, and cooked to perfection. Then on the side, classic angel hair pasta with tomato sauce, mushrooms, and oregano. You'll be calling for seconds before the lemon herb butter has even begun to melt off the chicken.
