Chicken Parmesan

by Randy Hegwood

When I was a Senior in High School, I took a cooking class. The teacher taught us how to read recipes and prepare meals. Our group would cook a meal and invite a teacher to join us. Our cooking teacher would help us along the way and evaluate how we did. My dish was Chicken Parmesan.

Instructions

Chicken Parmesan

This is my version of Chicken Parmesan

Start with 2 fresh chicken breasts
Butterfly the breasts and then cut into 2 fillets
Put in a plastic bag and pound the fillets to about a quarter inch in height
When all four fillets are done mix 3 eggs together in a bowl and put some boxed Italian bread crumbs on a plate
Take the chicken fillets and drench them in the eggs, then put them in the bread crumbs
Fry in a pan with olive oil for approximately 3 minutes on each side (until done)

Angel Hair Pasta

Now we'll make some angel hair pasta.

Put 2 cups water into a pot
Put a pinch of salt in the pot
Bring the water to a boil
Put one 16 oz box of Angel Hair pasta in the boiling water then cook without a lid for approximately 4 minutes
When done strain the pasta

Garlic Bread

Ready for some Garlic Bread?

You can bake the garlic bread while the pasta is resting and the sauce is simmering on low
Slice a loaf of Italian bread diagonally in 1/2 to 1 inch slices
Spread some pre-made garlic butter and on the bread slices
Put the bread in the oven for approximately 10 minutes
Check after 5 minutes to see how it is doing

Grand Finale

Let's put it all together!
