whats the difference between pizzaola and chicken parmesan?

[@step_sanchez]

Chicken Parmesan has a Parmesan based crust on the chicken usually in a mixture with panko when it’s being fried before adding the meat to the sauce.. as you seen here Frankie didn’t add any Parmesan to this recipe just mozzarella on top. I hope this helps 😊

This is a great recipe for a simple meal but unfortunately I think we have a different definition of a struggle meal. Nearly $3 for one portion is a splurge for me but I'm glad for anyone who only has to limit that much.

I was really interested in this comment because 3$ a portion seems to me like a great deal. So I looked up average usa spending on groceries per month for a single person. The USDA considers 250/mo (~3$/meal) to be a thrifty meal plan. It was the lowest on their list! Not that it helps your situation ofc, but I thought it was interesting to share. I hope things get better for you someday soon!

@@bather7483 Thanks. Unfortunately I'm disabled and considering Congress can't even agree to bring disability payments up to match the poverty level, it's probably not going to get better any time soon. If you get help with rent and utilities from family it's removed from your payments up to a point, so you end up with barely enough to cover medication and sometimes having to pick and choose between them. And while supposedly snap should be at a level of about 200 some a month it's often reduced for individuals based on things that don't actually make it easier for them to survive. So short of legal changes or rent actually getting affordable again, or a cure for my illness, it's going to be like this. I hope you never end up in a similar situation and hope you have a great one.
