Dinner

Last night I made Chicken Parm, my own recipe! We had it with a side salad and then homemade apple cobbler for dessert made by girl. Recipe to follow...




Chicken Parm:
5 to 6 chicken breasts pounded flat
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp italian herbs, dried
pinch of sea salt
olive oil
Jarred Tomato sauce
Pasta

Preheat oven to 450.
Start pasta according to directions on the box, minus 1 minute cook time. Once the pasta is done, drain and put into a deep casserole dish. Pour tomato sauce overtop and set aside.
Mix in bowl egg and milk. Set aside.
In a flat dish or plate, add 1 cup flour. Set aside.
In another flat dish or plate, mix together 1 cup breadcrumbs, italian herbs, 1/4 cup parm cheese, pinch of salt. Mix with a fork. Set aside.
In a deep frying or saute pan, heat up 1/2 cup to 1 cup olive oil, medium to medium high - not too hot or the chicken will burn.
Drag chicken through the flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumb mixture - both sides.
Place chicken in heated oil about two minutes each side. Place chicken ontop of sauced casserole dish, repeat.
Sprinkle parm cheese over all the fried breasts and then follow with mozerella cheese. Put in over for 15 - 20 minutes (if you don't want your cheese brown, cover with foil.)

Apple Cobbler
(Modified recipe from Sur La Table)
Filling
7 Granny Smith apples, peeled/cored/chopped into 1 inch pieces
Lemon Juice
¾ cup (6 oz) firmly packed light-brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Topping
½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup old-fashioned oats (do not use instant)
½ cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup olive oil

Cut up apples and throw them in a bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice for every apple - stirring to coat.
Add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon, mix well.
In a seperate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together.
Drizzle in the olive oil.
With a fork or a pastry blender or a food processor, mix together.

In a pie pan/dish, pour in the apple filling.
Top with the topping and spread to coat.
Cover with foil and put in heated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and put back in for 5 minutes to toast the topping.

Voila.
Delish!!
