Description

This crusting takes chicken from drab to fab! With less than 8 ingredients it’s also fast to prepare! I use seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop®, however you can use Italian seasoning in place of the cantanzaro herbs.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1 ounce finely shredded Parmesan cheese
