Tasty Tuesday – January 15, 2008

Ack! I’m late posting a Tasty Tuesday entry! You know why? Of course you do. Because I’m doing that working mom thang and clean forgot about it until now. Forgive me? Good. I wanted to share an easy little recipe I whipped up the other night while searching for something to do with some thawed chicken breasts. I had some stale bread in the pantry, a can of pre-made spaghetti sauce, and not much else. So I made chicken parmesan. Husband loved it and so did little one. Here’s how you can make it, too.

Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts – pound them flat between two pieces of Saran wrap
• Bread crumbs – If you don’t have any in a can, make them out of stale bread. Put bread in the oven at 200 degrees until it turns into toast. For added flavor, sprinkle on garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Remove from the oven, cool, then crumble into a bowl
• Two eggs, whisked with a splash of water
• Grated parmesan cheese
• Canned spaghetti sauce
• Pasta – whatever kind you got

Directions

• Dip the chicken breasts into the whisked egg, and then dredge in the bread crumbs
• Fry the breasts in hot oil until the bread crumbs are golden
• Transfer breasts to a large casserole dish
• Pour pasta sauce over the breasts and top with grated parmesan cheese
• Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes to a half-hour until the whole thing looks bubbly and the breasts are cooked through
• Serve over cooked pasta
