Chicken Parmesan

Hello,


Another amazing day in Toronto.  After dinner tonight, I was able to sit on my balcony and enjoy a glass of wine, wearing flip flops and a sun dress.  Amazing weather for March 20th.  I made my chicken parmesan, instead of using mostly mozzarella I used cheese curds and parmesan cheese with a little mozzarella.  I used my spaghetti sauce with the chorizo sausage on top of my breaded chicken.


T's Chicken Parm


I made my break crumbs and added fresh Parmesan cheese, salt pepper and spices
I flattened the chicken , milked and breaded two chicken breasts
in a hot frying pan with a slight covering of olive oil fry chicken until browned and flip over
have oven preheating at 350.
Place the breasts in a casserole dish and cover chicken with tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese, cheese curds and parmesan.


bake in oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes


I served this with a spinach salad and spaghetti 

Chicken Parmesan

So I have people coming for dinner tonight I am making chicken parmesan.  I have made the tomato sauce from scratch yesterday.  I plan on making a trip to the Butcher to get some fresh Italian sausage to make the pasta.  The sauce is cooking, on the stove, the house smells delicious and I need to make my bread crumbs.   have fresh bread from the bakery in Kensington Market.  I haven't made chicken parm is so long, I can't wait.  


Bread crumbs are easy to make, any time you need them.  I place bread on a cookie sheet, I buttered the bread today and spices and toast the bread in the oven at 350.  I the scrap the bread.  I realize buying bread crumbs is cheap and quick, however I try really hard to stay away from premade things. Also, if you have bread that is starting to go then use that bread instead of spending money.  We waste so much food every week, bread is often thrown out.  We waste so much.  


Last night I brought over some flank steak to my neighbour and he in return gave me some of his homemade lasagne.  My friend who came for dinner last night has offered to bake me a loaf of fresh bread.  Share your food and create community.  Inspire your friends and family.  

Food is for sharing.  Its ingredients, its creation, its flavours, 

and its stories are all their best when experienced with our family, 

friends and community.

Hello,

I know I didn't post over the weekend...was busy after work.  I am about to head out with a friend to do my shopping, I am thinking of trying a flank steak, chicken parmigiana.  The weather here in Toronto has been incredible, the flank steak should be BBQ'ed but living in an apartment it is impossible.  I haven't made oven baked flank steak so this is an experiment.

Life is series of moments....
