**I used olive oil instead of butter for this recipe. I'm not sure how much it changes the calorie or fat content of this dish, but I thought it was really good!**

When a recipe calls for fresh parsley do they mean just the stems or the leaves too? I hope that isn't a dumb question Just every time I cook I tend to use just the dry seasonings.
Thanks for the recipe Chicken Parm is my favorite.
