Doesn’t it feel like just yesterday we were making mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and baking holiday treats? Now here we are gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday!

My favorite part about the Super Bowl is the food. Obviously. If I’m being totally honest, I couldn’t even tell you which two teams are playing. Is that really bad? All I wanna do it eat all the apps. Gimme all the apps!

These Chicken Parmesan Poppers are the perfect finger food for your fans.

Lightly breaded and crisp on the outside, tender juicy chicken in the middle, and dipped in your favorite marinara sauce. It doesn’t get much better than that if you ask me! Plus, they’re baked not fried so…HEALTH FOOD!

Your fans big and small will love this easy app. I promise.
