Notes
- Here we have two lists of sides to go with this super-delicious recipe. There are a couple of catches though, the first one is for chicken alfredo side dishes and the second one is for chicken cacciatore sides.
- You may be asking why did I contain them in the post? The answer is quite simple really...around here, we add chicken to almost anything if we can and the chicken cacciatore list contains so many mouth-watering great recipes that they will blow you to the moon and back once you try them!
- What to Serve With Eggplant Parmesan can also provide you with so many wonderful side dish ideas.

- Keep the heat on medium-low to avoid burning the garlic.
- Don't cook the garlic past golden brown. It will become bitter.
