Chicken Parmesan

This week Ana asked to make chicken parmesan.  I took the easy way out and suggested we use already breaded chicken cutlets. I figured it would be easier for Ana to manage with those, given the risk of hot oil and multiple pans.  Although I did give her the option in the grocery store to get chicken breasts and carefully slice them in half.  She opted not to do it.

Ingredients

• chicken cutlets (we had 12 cutlets for 5 people)
• crushed tomatoes (2 28oz cans)
• cheese (mozzarella, parmesan)
• basil
• oregano
• garlic
• pepper
• adobo
• spagetti
• olive oil

 

Directions (Sauce)

1.  open crushed tomatoes

2.  pour in pot

3. heat sauce over medium heat

4. crush 4 garlic cloves into sauce

5.add basil & oregano (cup hand to measure)

6. heat & taste

 

Directions (Chicken)

1. open chicken

2. season chicken with adobo & pepper

3. cook chicken on olive oil (so it doesn’t stick) until golden brown (each side)

4. flip chicken

5. put in pan (do not stack)

6. add sauce & cheese (we mixed the parmesan and mozzarella together)

7. put in oven

8. broil 2-3 minutes

Directions (Pasta)

1. add water to pot

2. add olive oil

3. wait until boiling

4. add salt & pasta

5. stir pasta 3 minutes

6. wait 3 more minutes

7. drain & eat

 

Results

We served it with a nice salad and good bread.  Ana did a really good job.  Everybody really enjoyed it and said she could make it again.  Ana was incredibly proud of herself (as she should be) and gave herself a round of applause.  She wouldn’t let me post that picture.
