Beef Stroganoff. Spinach-Gorgonzola Pasta. I should start by saying that this dish is rich — certainly not for those still trying to stick to their New Years resolution.

It’s this same indulgent quality that has people lined up around the block at Gayle’s Bakery & Rosticceria, a neighborhood fixture in a small beach town called Capitola, a few miles south of Santa Cruz in Northern California.

Craving something comforting more than anything, I felt right at home in front of their massive rotisserie and deli case packed with roasted chickens, slow barbecued ribs, potato salad and sandwiches.

Parmigiano Panko Herb Encrusted Chicken Breasts. This is my version of Italian Fried Chicken.
Well I am a Southern girl after all & do love fried chicken so I thought this would be a good marriage of the two! I’ve been crazy for Panko lately & just love the texture & crunch that it gives, all the while being light & airy! Crazy I know, but true.
