Chicken Parmesan



Chicken Parmesan
Some changes made by me
I think this is the best Chicken Parmesan that I have made! It was really quick and easy! Since I didn't have to fry it completely through it made for the perfect crispiness and probably a little bit more healthy too!
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (5 to 6 oz each)
*I used 10 thighs because that's what I pulled out of the freezer
Salt & freshly ground Pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
*I used whole wheat flour & 1 cup was way to much so I think this could be cut in half
3 large eggs, lightly beaten 
2 cups Panko or seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 cup canola oil
*I used extra virgin olive oil & some Wild Tree Basil Grapeseed oil
1 1/2 cups Auz Delices's Marinara Sauce (pg 129), or store bought tomato sauce, warmed
1 cup grated Provolone cheese
*I didn't have any so I didn't use it
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
*I used the kind that you just buy at the store
*Garlic powder
* Italian seasoning
*1 package noodles, cooked

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Put the flour in a shallow bowl or on a plate, put the beaten eggs in another bowl, and spread the bread crumbs in a third. *This is where I added the garlic powder and the Italian seasonings to add more flavor to the chicken. Dip the chicken first in the flour to coat on both sides and then dip in the egg to coat. Last, dip the chicken in the bread crumbs to coat. As each chicken breast is coated, set it aside on a plate.
  4. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot. Drop a few bread crumbs in the oil and if they sizzle, the oil is hot enough. Cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Lift from the pan with tongs or a wide spatula and transfer to a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. * I used the Pampered Chef cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.
  5. * I didn't do the last step. We don't like a lot of sauce on our pasta or chicken so I just mixed the sauce with the noodles
  6. * I also made 2 without any breading because my dad has to watch his carb intake. I just seasoned them and baked them in the over with the rest of the chicken.
  7. Take the pan from the oven and spoon the sauce over the chicken to cover. Sprinkle with the grated cheeses  Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes longer, until the cheese melts and the sauce is hot  Serve hot.

Serves 4

This was a huge hit for my family! They all loved it and agreed that this was the best recipe for Parmesan Chicken that I have made!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
