Parmesan Crusted Chicken


I am totally in love with the Parmesan Crusted Chicken at TGI Friday's so when I saw this recipe. I totally wanted to try it.

What you will need:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup dried bread crumbs
  • 1 lb chicken cutlets, washed and patted dry
  • cooking spray
What you will need to do:
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and salt until smooth.

In another shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, stirring well to mix.

Dip the chicken cutlets into the egg mixture, coating well on both sides; then place into the Parmesan mixture, coating well on both sides.

Place prepared cutlets on a separate plate and set aside.

Coat a large nonstick skillet generously with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.

Working in batches, cook the chicken in a single layer, for 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through and Parmesan crust is browned to desired crispiness.

In between batches, wipe the skillet clean with paper towels and re-coat it generously with cooking spray.

Going French??


Lately I am totally in love with French's French Fried Onions. Here are two of my favorite things to make with them. Can you believe the other day I opened a can of cream of mushroom when I should have been opening cream of chicken and of course I was forced to make this next recipe.

French's Green Bean Casserole:
What you'll need:
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of Mushroom Soup
3/4 Cup Milk
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 1/3 cups French's french fried onions
2 cans green beans drained

Mix soup and milk, then add pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions in 1 1/2qt casserole. Bake at 350* for 30 min. or until hot. Stir. Top with remaining onions. bake 5 min.


French's crunchy onion chicken:
2 Cups French's French fried onions
2 tbsp. flour
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 egg beaten

Crush french fried onions with flour in plastic bag.
Dip chicken in egg. Coat in onion crumbs. Press firmly to adhere.
Bake at 400* for 20 min. until no longer pink in the center.

These are both quick and easy. I found both of them on the can of French's french fried onion. Got to love when you try a new recipe and totally fall in love with it.
