    Easy Crispy Parmesan Chicken

    March 21, 2016

      Why this recipe works:  To create a crisp coating that stays put, dredge the cutlets in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs, dredge them in Parmesan cheese enriched with black pepper, and finally more flour, which keeps the cheese in place.  Make sure your oil is very hot: if the oil is too cool, the cutlets will become greasy and won’t properly crisp. 1/2 cup + 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 2 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (see note at the bottom) 2 teaspoons black pepper 4 thin-cut boneless, skin-less chicken cutlets (breast work the best) 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1.  Adjust oven rack to middle…

    Dinner this Sunday

    August 25, 2015

    While my husband is home this weekend from work, I think I will make this silky easy dish for Sunday dinner with some fresh baked bread.  Maybe you can try it too and let me know what you think.  It is VERY SIMPLE. BAKED RIGATONI AND ZUCCHINI serves: 6-8 Zucchini is best in the summer, which is when this dish -really excels. Today one can get zucchini at a reasonable price -year–round, so it’s easy to make this dish for the family at any time of the year. To balance it further, add some protein, such as swordfish, shrimp, crumbled sausages, or shredded chicken breast. You can add as little…
