Steps:
- With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
- Scoop out the seeds - brush with oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast face down in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for 35-40 minutes (until a fork can easily pierce the skin).
- Meanwhile - Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
- Coat each strip with flour, then egg, and then roll in bread crumbs.
- Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken strips (in batches if necessary) until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels and remove pan from heat.
- Once the squash has finished roasting - remove from the oven and let it set for a few minutes before turing over and pulling at it with a fork.
- Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin.
- Pour marinara sauce over shredded squash. Top with chicken strips, then more marinara, and finish with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Return to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a food processor, add the chicken, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, and pulse until thoroughly combined, with no large chunks.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom of a plastic wrap-lined, 10-inch (25 cm) cake pan. Fold over the excess saran wrap on top, and press it into a flat shape. Freeze until completely frozen solid, 2-4 hours.
- In 3 separate shallow dishes, distribute the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs.
- Unwrap the frozen chicken disc and dip it in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Submerge it into the eggs, then cover it completely with the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs into the chicken.
- Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Add oil to a large, deep pan halfway up the side to 400°F (200°C).
- Carefully lower the chicken disc into the oil with tongs, making sure it doesn't splash. If the bottom is getting more color than the top, flip the patty extremely carefully and fry the other side until a deep golden brown.
- Remove the chicken disc from the oil and transfer to a wire rack. Blot with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Add the tomato sauce to the fried chicken disc, spreading it in an even layer.
- Lay the mozzarella over the sauce, then sprinkle with Parmesan over the top.
- Broil for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Top with basil, slice, and serve.

Steps:
- Cut the butterflied and pounded breasts into 6 to 8 even pieces. Season with the salt on both sides and place on a rack set inside a sheet pan (technically we use "half" sheet pans for this). Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, potato chips, oregano, parsley and garlic powder in a gallon zip-top bag and crush into a course meal.
- Set up a breading station with three loaf pans: place the flour in the first pan, the beaten eggs in the second, and the breadcrumb mixture in the third. Set a clean wire rack inside a sheet pan to hold the breaded pieces.
- Unwrap the chicken and blot well with paper towels then dredge the chicken first in the flour (shake off the excess), then dip in the beaten eggs (again, drain the excess), and finally coat with the breadcrumbs before placing on the rack.
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and crank the broiler to high. Line a clean pan with paper towels and have it standing by.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in an 11-inch sauté pan over medium heat. When the butter foams, add half the breaded chicken to the pan, but don't overcrowd. Cook, undisturbed, until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean rack, wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining butter, oil and chicken.
- Spread 3/4 cup of the red sauce into the bottom of a a 9-by-13-inch broiler-safe baking dish or pan and broil until the sauce bubbles and begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer. Dot the chicken with the remaining red sauce, leaving bare spots to retain some crispy bits. Scatter the fontina and mozzarella over the sauce.
- Return to the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Garnish with chopped flat-leaf parsley.
- Work the garlic, salt and 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil together with a mortar and pestle until a paste forms.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic paste and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the anchovies and the red pepper flakes and cook until the anchovies begin to break down, about 1 minute. (I usually use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the anchovies.)
- Add the tomatoes and break them up with the back of the spoon then submerge the Parmesan rind in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, until the sauce is almost dry, about 1 hour.
- Discard the Parmesan rind or feed it to the dog. Use the sauce immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. (See Cook's Note.)

Steps:
- Lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then slice it into strips about ½ inch (1 cm) in thickness.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in flour followed by egg and bread crumbs.
- Quickly fry chicken strips in ½ inch (1 cm) of oil over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds each side to color the breading. Set cooked strips aside to drain on paper towels. (NOTE: The chicken will NOT be fully cooked after this stage.)

Next, add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce followed by a piece of chicken. Starting from the end with the sauce on it, roll up the noodle like a sleeping bag towards the un-sauced side.
- Place each roll-up into a large casserole dish that has been lightly covered with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour remaining sauce over roll-ups, then generously cover with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and edges of lasagna noodle are slightly crisped.

GRILLED CHICKEN PARM
Chicken parm - crisp chicken served with tomato sauce, draped in mozzarella and anointed with grated Parmesan, served perhaps on a hero roll or beside a tangle of pasta - is among the finest dishes of the Italian diaspora in America. There is sweetness and salt to the dish, along with the base creaminess of cheese and the satisfying crunch of the chicken's crust. These combine, especially under a spray of red pepper flakes, to deliver immense satisfaction. This recipe, adapted from one the chef Justin Bazdarich uses at the Speedy Romeo restaurants in New York, moves the preparation of the dish to the grill, and delivers a dish that is smoke-scented and beautiful, with flavors that manage to be both delicate and robust.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken skin-side down in a snug pan or platter with sides, then evenly apply the lemon zest, thyme leaves and 2/3 of the garlic and massage it into the flesh. Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil over the chicken, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, or leave on the countertop for an hour or so while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Make the tomato sauce. Heat broiler on high. Put the tomatoes into a food processor, and pulse a few times to break them up. Pour the chopped tomatoes into a small sheet pan with sides, then slide it directly under the broiler, and allow it to cook until much of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has become thick, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then pour into a bowl.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil into the tomatoes, along with a pinch of salt, to taste. Set aside.
- Make the kale. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan with a lid over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the remaining garlic, and cook until it turns fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add kale to the pan, turn the heat to high and add a splash of water. Use a spoon to toss the greens in the oil and water, then cover and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, until the kale is soft and wilted, but still quite green. Remove cover, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the kale from the pan, sprinkle with basil and set aside.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn one burner to high, leaving the others off, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes.)
- Put the thighs on the side of the grill without coals, skin-side down, cover the grill and cook until skin is crisp and the flesh has started to whiten, about 12 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over, and top each one with a piece of mozzarella. Cover the grill again, and cook for an additional 8 minutes or so, or until the cheese has melted entirely and the chicken has cooked through. (Thighs are done when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees.)
- Ladle the tomato sauce onto a large platter, and top with the cooked kale. Nestle the chicken on top of the kale and sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan, some red-pepper flakes and a little salt over the top of the chicken, and serve.

Steps:
- Fill a large pasta pot with water and place it over high heat. Once the water comes up to a boil, salt it and drop in the pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions. Before draining the pasta, reserve a mugful of starchy cooking water, then drain and reserve.
- While the water is coming up to a boil, place a large skillet over high heat with 3 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 3 tablespoons. Season the chicken pieces with the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper then add it to the preheated skillet. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once the chicken is brown, add the garlic and onions to the pan, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cover the pan with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst open and begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes (if they haven't started to burst open by that time, mash them lightly with a potato masher or wooden spoon). Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Add the drained pasta and reserved starchy cooking water (about 1 cup) to the skillet with the chicken and tomatoes, and toss over the heat until combined, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil, arugula, and cheese. Serve.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper third and center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the Parmesan in a mini food processor and grind into a snow-like powder. You should have at least 1 1/4 cups. Set aside.
- Set up a breading station with 3 pie plates or shallow bowls. Combine the flour, kosher salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the garlic powder in the first pie plate; stir with a fork.
- Beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons water in the second pie plate.
- Combine the panko with 1/2 cup of the ground Parmesan in the third pie plate and stir with a fork.
- Press your palm down on a chicken breast and slice the chicken in half with a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts to make a total of 6 thin pieces. Cut each piece in half crosswise to make a total of 12 mini cutlets.
- Working in an assembly line, dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Dip the chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs and coat both sides, letting any excess drip off. Then dredge in the Parmesan breadcrumbs and turn to coat both sides. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shiny. Working in batches if necessary, add the cutlets in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and discard the parchment from the baking sheet and replace it with a wire rack. Transfer the fried cutlets to the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the compound butter: Combine the garlic with the butter, 1/4 cup of the ground Parmesan, and the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir together with a spoon until well combined.
- Place the ciabatta rolls on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the compound butter on the split sides. Broil on the center rack until golden brown and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the buns to a work surface.
- Remove the wire rack from the baking sheet and wipe the baking sheet clean. Place the cutlets on the baking sheet and top each with about 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce and the mozzarella rounds. Broil on the upper rack until the tops are bubbly and the mozzarella is melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Divide among 4 ramekins.
- To plate, carefully transfer the cutlets with a spatula to the bottom buns, sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons of the ground Parmesan and the basil. Close the sliders and serve with the warmed tomato sauce. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a good quality chicken. This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chicken that is fresh, plump, and has a good color.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to do this.
- Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. This is what will give the chicken its crispy coating. You can use a variety of ingredients in your breadcrumb mixture, such as Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Cook the chicken in hot oil. This will help it brown quickly and evenly. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken, or it will absorb the oil and become greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sauce. Chicken Parmesan is traditionally served with marinara sauce, but you can also use Alfredo sauce, pesto, or any other sauce you like.
