Delicious Chicken Parmi Sides

Enjoying a classic Chicken Parmi at home is one of life's simple pleasures. You've got your eye on that delicious, cheesy "CHICKEN ITALIANO PARMI" from Kay’s Wholesale Meats, a perfectly portioned meal for one. But what about the sides? A great main deserves equally great companions. Here are a couple of simple, single-serving side dishes that will elevate your solo dining experience. Before you start, a quick word on the main event: for the best results, be sure to ask Gary in-store for the ideal heating instructions for your chicken.

**Classic Caesar Salad for One**

A crisp Caesar salad is a timeless partner to the rich flavours of a Chicken Parmigiana. It's light, refreshing, and incredibly easy to whip up for one person.

*Ingredients:* * 1/2 head of romaine lettuce, chopped * 1 tablespoon of your favourite Caesar dressing * 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese * A small handful of croutons * A squeeze of fresh lemon juice * Freshly ground black pepper

*Instructions:* In a small bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss everything together until the lettuce is lightly coated. Top with croutons and a crack of black pepper, and serve immediately.

**Garlic and Herb Roasted Broccoli**

If you're in the mood for something warm and savoury, roasted broccoli is an excellent choice. The garlic and herbs complement the Italian flavours of the chicken, and it's a wonderfully simple and healthy option.

*Ingredients:* * 1 cup of broccoli florets * 1 clove of garlic, minced * 1 teaspoon of olive oil * A pinch of dried Italian herbs (like oregano or a mixed herb blend) * Salt and pepper to taste

*Instructions:* Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a small baking tray, toss the broccoli florets with the minced garlic, olive oil, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Make sure the broccoli is evenly coated. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy and the stems are tender.
