Chicken Parmesan


I LOVE a good chicken parm - and if I do say so myself, this is exactly that!

Ingredients:
Two chicken breasts, pounded thin
Herb seasoned basting oil
2/3 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
2/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of butter
Mozzarella cheese
Your preferred spaghetti noodles and sauce

In a Ziploc bag add your two chicken breasts and two tablespoons of the basting oil. Shake it to coat the breasts and let it sit for about an hour in the fridge.

Once you're chicken is "marinated" remove and set on the counter

Mix the bread crumbs and cheese in a shallow bowl

Season your chicken breasts with a small dash of kosher salt, black pepper, a shake of garlic powder, and onion powder

Turn on a skillet to high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Quickly whisk an egg in a separate bowl, dredge the chicken in the egg

Press the breast into the bread crumb mixture until it's fully covered and then flip and fully coat the other side

Place the chicken breast into your skillet and brown  the crust - about 45 seconds, then flip and do the opposite side.

Place the chicken breast onto a cookie sheet, and repeat the coating process with the 2nd breast.

Top the chicken breast with Mozzarella cheese and pop in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Make your spaghetti as usual and mix the pasta with your preferred sauce (Gotta do it, when I don't make my own, I will no longer use anything but MIDS sauce! Seriously, try it! http://www.mids.cc/ **You're welcome, Mids**)

Place a scoop of spaghetti in the center of the plate and top with the chicken breast. 

Sprinkle with your chopped parsley for aesthetic affect if you wish ;) Enjoy!

  1. Just a thought: ever considered photographing the process? That would make it longer, more colorful, and easier to follow! Looks yummy!
