I gave my family several choices to chose from for the Main Course for Christmas dinner. They chose Chicken Parmigiana.
So, I built my entire menu around that.
The first course was my homemade Minestrone Soup that is so packed with goodies it’s more like a stew.
The second course was a simple green salad (not shown), and Crab Crostini. I didn’t make the Crab Salad. To
save time I bought it from a deli. It’s delicious! The French Bread is baked daily at my market so I picked up a couple of baguettes for the Crostini.
Then we arrive at the main course: Chicken Parmigiana. I used Lidia’s Italy in America recipe. It’s wonderful! The chicken breasts are stuffed with ricotta and Parmesan cheese seasoned to taste. I seasoned mine with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
I served it over a bed of Spaghetti with a basic marinara sauce.
The fourth course I had two types of Panettone cakes: a butter cake, and a fruiti cake, and birthday cake from #1 Grandson’s 2nd Birthday which was on Friday, but we were so stuffed no one wanted any dessert.
The conversation at the table is always laced with stories new and old and there’s always a lot of laughter.
It’s been a wonderful day of joy, great food, and togetherness. It’s the Christmas I wished for.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Looks delicious and I love Italian!! And there is nothing better than being with family!! Hope the season has been joyful.
Thank you Cybele! So far it’s been a lovely Holiday Season. I hope you’re feeling much better and enjoying the season too. xx
That sounds and looks wonderful. What time are you serving leftovers.
Thank you Dan! I’m going to be slicing up that Butter Panettone to serve with breakfast pretty soon. It would be lovely if you and your family made it over to help us eat it, and help reduce our calorie intake! 🙂
