The End of Chicken Parmesan As You Know It Not counting pizza and spaghetti, chicken Parmesan may be the most popular Italian-American restaurant entree out there. For many years I've been trying to perfect a home version that didn’t require the breading and frying, but still offered that irresistible combination of tender chicken, crunchy/cheesy coating, and flavorful sauce. These attempts were met with soggy, flaccid results. Well, on Tuesday, February 19th, at 4:45 PM, it hit me like a giant meatball dropped from the leaning tower of Pisa (worst simile ever?). dilemma. What followed was one of my proudest moments as a cook. UPDATE!! Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed hot red pepper flakes, to taste 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 5, but they were huge!)
Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts The components of this meal may seem a bit odd (apples and cheese stuffed inside chicken…come again??) but it is truly delicious. And guess what? It is quick and easy. Basically a good, old-fashioned boneless, skinless chicken breast gets a major makeover by being stuffed with a simple mixture of crisp apples, creamy cheese and a few other helpful ingredients. Browned and simmered in chicken broth until cooked through, the stuffed chicken stays deliciously moist and is complimented by an extremely wonderful and simple sauce. Talking about chicken for dinner leads me to my next question which I’ve been curious about for a while. One Year Ago: Guacamole SaldTwo Years Ago: Simple Orzo PilafThree Years Ago: Raspberry Lime Rickey Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts Ingredients Directions If the chicken breasts you are using are on the thicker side, slice a pocket in the center of the thickest part to use for stuffing in the apple mixture (similar to this method).
Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes with Coffee Icing and Cream Cheese Frosting I’m all sentimental and mushy today. I’d say sorry, but I’m not, not really. It feels good, those days when it hits me that I am, in fact, a mom. As a step mom, there’s a lot of things I haven’t experienced, parenting-wise. I’ve never carried a child in my womb and given birth, or nursed and cuddled and bonded with the baby (although, I have cuddled and bonded with my nephews). I’ve never debated regular diapers vs. cloth, or worried about the first hair cut that would cut away those baby curls, and watched the first tooth come and go. I’ve also never been grabbed onto and cried on because of some fear, real or imagined, in the night that makes a big comfy bed necessary for little bodies to squeeze into. Last night, Littlest Nephew came down to tell me that he was missing his momma and daddy, who are traveling for a week while I party on with the nephews. Obviously. Like I could turn away that little round face with the chin all dimpled and shivering because he didn’t want to cry. The end.
Man-Pleasing Chicken | Witty in the City I have never gotten so many compliments before, let alone for a piece of chicken. David suggested calling this chicken, “So Good it Can’t Be Described, Explosion on Your Taste Buds Chicken.” Exactly. I have never encountered a dish that is so basic and simple to put together yet creates such a big pay off. To make this chicken, which you should absolutely do immediately, preheat your oven to 450º F. Put 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a foil-lined or disposable oven-proof, 8×8 inch baking dish. Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. I adapted this recipe from “The I <3 Trader Joe’s Cookbook” by Cherie Mercer Twohy. Shopping list: Chicken thighs- 1 packageDijon mustard- 1/2 cupMaple syrup- 1/4 cupRice/rice wine vinegar- 1 tablespoonFresh rosemarySalt and pepper
Healthy Chicken Nuggets {Baked} Basically, to reiterate the compliments flying around the dinner table the night I served these, I would simply have to state: Mom rules! McDonald’s drools! {Insert fist pump} A light, crunchy, flavorful breading envelopes tender, juicy pieces of chicken, which are baked not fried. From the children who aspire to live beneath the golden arches (despite their mother’s attempts to brainwash them otherwise), these chicken nuggets were so well-received that I nearly got contracts signed in blood that they will never ask to eat at you-know-where again.

Cheesecake Bars I was in the mood for something cold and lip-smackingly sweet. Something I could sink my teeth into. Something to maintain my weight. So I made this treat with a few of my favorite things. Cheesecake. Chocolate. and these cookies. If you ever fly Delta, then you’ve probably had them before. They’re a crunchy, no-frills, sans chocolate type of cookie. So I thought they would be great to use for the cheesecake crust. Throw the cookies into a food processor and chop them up into beautiful golden brown cookie powder. About 1 1/2 cups worth. Then add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Don’t you love how packed brown sugar looks? To make the crust, mix the cookie crumbs and brown sugar together. Mix up the cheescake ingredients and pour it on the crust. Oh yeah! Then bake it at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes. And let it cool. And try not to eat it. Then whip up some chocolate ganache to pour on top. Oh yeah. Spread the chocolate evenly on top of the cheesecake and then refrigerate overnight.
Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets | Ginas Skinny Recipes Chunks of all white meat chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese then baked until golden. An easy chicken recipe your whole family will love. What can be more kid friendly than chicken nuggets, even the pickiest kids like them. Kids love finger foods or anything you can eat with toothpicks so when my daughter was young I would make her a dish of bite sized goodies she liked such as tomatoes, olives, pasta, etc. and served them with toothpicks and she always cleaned her plate! Once I'm in breading mode I usually make breaded zucchini sticks as well and bake them all at the same time along with some pasta and a salad for a complete meal. Double these for more or make half for less servings.

Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks Part-skim mozzarella sticks coated with crispy seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until hot and golden. Serve them with my quick marinara sauce and you have yourself an appetizer everyone will love. Hot mozzarella sticks, I can't think of a more popular finger food with both kids and adults alike! Of course, you'll want to serve them hot right out of the oven, because like any cheese, as they cool they harden. It actually took me several attempts to get these perfect. These are freezer friendly, in fact these MUST be frozen before you bake them or you will have one big cheesy mess in your oven!
