Chicken Parmesan
Who doesn’t love Italian food? We were having a hard time figuring out what we wanted for dinner. One of those nothing sounds good nights.
Well, we finally landed on chicken, but now what kind of chicken? Chicken this, chicken that… How about chicken parmesan?
Who doesn’t like fried chicken, pasta, and cheese?
The chicken was trimmed and seasoned with our own SPG blend and sprinkled with flour. Dipped in egg wash and coated with Italian breadcrumbs.
Little olive oil and garlic, pop open a can of your favorite crushed tomato’s, and you have a ‘gravy’ better than any jar!
Sliced the chicken breasts in half and gave them a quick oil hot tub. Pulled them when they were GBD (golden, browned, and delicious) and knocked on 165. They’ll finish in the oven.
Placed on a wire rack, topped with your better than jar gravy and topped with fresh-graded parm and mozzarella cheese. Bake these bad birds for 10-15 minutes, and you have a meal better than any sit-down “Italian” restaurant!
