Tonight's Episode of "Cooking with Attitude"

"Chicken Parmesan" for Hire!

Chapter One: The Olive Oil Affair

In a pan heat some good quality Olive oil, crushed red pepper, Oregano, Basil, Fresh garlic & a couple of bay leaves
heat til the garlic is soft, Do not brown, This is the base for my "Italian Arrabiata Sauce" (Spicy Red Sauce)

Add two large cans of crushed tomatoes, Sea salt to taste, 1 table spoon sugar, splash of sweet vermouth
stir & cover, cook over low heat for 1 hour.

Take boneless chicken breast, Slice sideways so you have two thin pieces
Get out your "Meat Hammer" (Insert sex joke here) place chicken between two pieces of saran wrap
and pound away (Insert another sex joke here) til you have quarter inch thick breasts (Yes I know!)
remove from wrap season with sea salt & fresh pepper & set aside for now.

Chapter two: It's my Bread & Butter, Now Die!

Slice a loaf of "Italian Bread" not French Bread, Italian or your "Gabagool" in my meat locker, Yo!
Spread with butter, top with garlic salt, Oregano, Paprika & Parmesan cheese.

Set up the dredge station for the chicken, A plate of Flour, Egg wash & Bread crumbs (I use panko bread crumbs,eeewwww Fancy!)
in that order, Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Chapter three: Into the Pan or into the Fire!

Dredge the chicken in flour, Then the egg wash & last into the breadcrumbs, Place in a hot pan of oil (I use Canola oil)
cook until light golden brown on each side, we will finish in the oven, Place cooked chicken on a greased cooking pan, place in preheated oven
for 12 minutes along with the garlic bread.

Get that Spaghetti in some boiling water and if it's not "al dente" there will be trouble!

Slice up some Fresh Mozzarella & Italian Parsley

Hey the Spaghetti & Sauce are done, better hide the booze.

Epilogue: A Meal to Kill for!

Slice up the cooked garlic bread & Top the chicken with some sauce & the mozzarella, Place back in the oven to melt the cheese.

Put some Spaghetti, sauce & chicken on a plate, Top with some grated Parmesan & chopped parsley
now enjoy the show.
