a classic twist

cooked Tuesday, October 6
Nathan cooked another great comfort food on Tuesday night. I'm not sure what it is about comfort foods lately, but I'm craving them. Maybe the fall weather?

here's the recipe:

Chicken Parmesan for two

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts (or 1 HUGE chicken breast), pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
  • Italian bread crumbs
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ~2 TBS Olive Oil
  • Spaghetti Noodles
  • Marinara

Method:

Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, carefully rinse chicken breasts. Pound chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Combine bread crumbs and cheese in shallow dish. Dredge chicken in cheese mixture. In heated pan, cook chicken until done.
Optional: Sprinkle chicken breasts with cheese and broil until melted.

Combine pasta with Marinara. Top pasta with chicken and enjoy!

Quick, easy and tasty meal!! It's always better when someone else cooks it. :) To make this meal a little healthier, Nathan decided against using egg or buttermilk to moisten the chicken. Instead of drying the chicken completely after washing with water, he left it wet so the bread crumbs would stick. It actually makes for a better crust to me. I loved it! We also used Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan because we were out at the moment and did not want to make another trip to Kroger. :)
All in all, a great meal!!
