Chicken Parmesan Recipe

So I tried this new Chicken Parmesan Recipe last night & lemme tell you, it was a hit. My boyfriend almost took me down to the courthouse right then & there ;) No but really, it was really good! So here is the recipe:

 What you'll need:

  • Raw chicken breasts
  • Italian breadcrumbs (or you can make your own like I did):
    • Panko bread crumbs
    • Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper for seasoning
  • Garlic for seasoning (optional)
  • Large eggs, beaten (as many as it will take to coat your chicken)
  • Butter (for frying)
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce (for up to 4 chicken breasts)
  • Mozzarella cheese (can be sliced or grated, I prefer grated)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley for garnish
  • Spaghetti noodles for serving
Directions:
  1. Start out by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, & garlic (optional).
  2. Pour your breadcrumbs into a large bowl. If needed, add your Italian seasoning & mix.
  3. Beat your eggs in a shallow bowl. I used 2 eggs for 4 chicken breasts.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place a tablespoon of butter in the skillet to melt.
  6. Dip your chicken into the egg, one at a time, then coat with your breadcrumbs. I flipped my chicken breast in the breadcrumbs several times to make sure it was nicely coated.
  7. Place in the skillet & cook until brown. Mine took about 3 minutes on each side, but it also depends on the thickness of the chicken! (Be sure you cut into the center to make sure it's cooked right or measure the internal temperature to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.)
  8. Remove chicken from the skillet once done & onto a plate or paper towel.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 until all of your chicken is cooked.
  10. Boil water in a large pot & cook your spaghetti noodles until done (usually about 12 minutes for tender noodles). Drain & set aside when done.
  11. Reduce heat to low & add your spaghetti sauce to the skillet.
  12. Heat your sauce, then place chicken back into skillet with the sauce.
  13. Coat your chicken with the sauce, turning it over a couple of times to make sure it is nicely coated.
  14. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over the chicken breasts & wait for the cheese to melt.
  15. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  16. Add parsley for garnish.
  17. Place spaghetti noodles on your plate & top with the chicken.

Goulash

Image
Okay, so this is like an all-time favorite of mine! It's quick, simple, & cheap! It's called Goulash if you've never heard of it, or "Poverty Meal." So if you're running low on funds, this is perfect! I made a pot last night. My son had a small bowl, I had two bowls, & my boyfriend ate all the rest! He had never had Goulash before, but he loved it. It's also great for meal-prepping. I followed this recipe from delish.com & I will attach the link straight to the recipe! http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a55501/best-goulash-recipe/

I stole this recipe from my boyfriend (hehehe). When he first told me about it, I was a little unsure! But I will usually try anything! Now that I have tried it, I love it! It's perfect for my work lunches. It's extremely simple, too! So here's the recipe for his homemade pasta salad. Here's what you need: A box of ziti pasta A package of pepperoni A block of Monterrey-jack cheese A cucumber About 3 small tomatoes A small bottle of Italian dressing (8 oz should be good) First, boil your ziti pasta by the directions on the box. While doing that, you can cut up your tomatoes, cucumber, & cheese. Also, tear your pepperoni slices into smaller pieces. When your noodles are done, throw everything together & mix your Italian dressing with it & voila! There is your homemade pasta salad! You can add other things to it if you'd like, such as avocado, bacon, bell peppers, jalapenos, just have fun with it! Keep leftovers refrigerated 😃😃
