I’m not sure that I’ll ever make Chicken Parmesan the “real way” again! 😉
We loved this “easiest ever” version so much – it’s all the same amazing flavors, with a fraction of the fuss in putting it together.
This one will soon be on your regular meal rotation, just I know it! Enjoy!

How can this be converted to a pressure cooker recipe? Can the mushrooms and peppers be put in at the beginning?

Yes, you could add them at the beginning, because you want them to “melt” into the sauce. So that would be fine to cook that way 🙂
