Leeks are a great risotto accompaniment. You do not have to add the chicken to this dish. Leave out the chicken…

Chicken Parmesan
You will need: Panko bread crumbs, olive oil, Italian seasonings of your choice, chicken cutlets, eggs, flour, marinara sauce, fresh basil leaves, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper.
