So sorry! We forgot to wish you a happy National Chicken Parmigiana Day on April 21st. You know, this whole shelter-at-home has not knowing what day it is. In fact, we just call each day “-day” because we don’t know or care. What we do care about is stuffing our face. In light of the “holiday” that’s passed, why not whip up a platter full of chicken parm for the fam? Chicken Parmesan Ingredients: 4 chicken breast halves skinless boneless 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs 2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs 2/3 cup Italian Seasoning bread crumbs 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons parsley 4 tablespoons oil or as needed 24 oz marinara sauce homemade or jarred 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese basil & parsley fresh, chopped Instructions: Preheat an oven to 425°F. Place flour in shallow dish. Place the eggs in a second dish (and beat with a fork). Combine Panko, Italian crumbs, grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, salt and pepper to taste in a third shallow dish. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thick (if they're very large you can cut them in half). Dip chicken into flour and shake to remove any excess. Dip chicken in beaten eggs & then into bread crumb mixture (press to adhere). Preheat oil in a large pan. Brown chicken on each side, about 4 minutes per side or until golden (it does not need to cook through as it will continue to cook in the oven). Place 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Add browned chicken. Top each piece with a couple tablespoons of marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve over pasta. *recipe courtesy of Spend With Pennies If you’re going to stuff your face full of Little Debbie snacks while on quarantine (raises hand), can you try to work a healthy meal in every three snacks? According to our friends at Quartz, “Shakshuka is easy-to-make, healthy dish that can fit any meal of the day, though it's popular at breakfast. In this version, we suggest not adding eggs to the red sauce right away, as that red sauce can be saved and used for other dishes.” Ready to get Shakshuka-d? ShakshukaIngredients: 1 yellow onion (chopped) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 red bell pepper (chopped) ¼ tsp salt 1 28 oz. can plum tomatoes 3 garlic cloves (chopped) ¼ tsp red pepper flakes ½ tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp ground cumin Eggs Directions: Warm the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet (preferably stainless steel) over medium heat. Also pre-heat oven to 375-degrees Fahrenheit. Add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Stir often, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, spices, and red pepper flakes. Stir until nice and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in plum tomatoes and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, breaking apart plum tomatoes with a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Crack 5-6 eggs onto the top of the red sauce. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, checking often. It's done when the egg whites are an opaque white and the yolks have risen a bit but are still soft. Serve hot! |
