Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 3-ounce chicken cutlets
1 1/2 cups Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or purchased marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
16 teaspoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 32-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 fresh basil leaves
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Stir the oil and herbs in a small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the cutlets with the herb oil. Heat a large heavy oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add the cutlets and cook just until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Spoon the marinara sauce over and around the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella over each cutlet, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan over each. Sprinkle the butter pieces atop the cutlets. Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.;
  • In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove the bay leaves and check for seasoning. If the sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors. Add half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with the remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

MINI PENNE WITH PARMESAN CHICKEN



Mini Penne with Parmesan Chicken image

Another recipe that kids (and adults!) will wolf down, this is a combination of two dishes everyone loves: chicken cutlets Milanese and warm pasta salad.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1/2 cup
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (about 18)
1 pound mini penne pasta or macaroni
1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Brush a large, heavy, foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the buttermilk in a large bowl. Add the chicken tenders, stir to coat, and let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir the Parmesan and bread crumbs together in a pie pan. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl, and dredge them in the bread-crumb mixture to coat completely, pressing to adhere. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and bake until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken tenders to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, mash the garlic with 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vinegar and then the remaining 1/2 cup of oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place the drained pasta in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, sprinkle with the parsley, and top with the chicken. Toss to combine, and serve.

CHICKEN PARMESAN MINIS



Chicken Parmesan Minis image

My kids always eat things when they come in smaller portions. These Chicken Parmesan Minis were a huge hit for my little ones.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound of raw ground chicken
1/2 of a red pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon of oregano
3 mozzarella cheese sticks, each cut into 4 pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
1 cup of marinara sauce
1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon of olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the topping, mix together the Italian bread crumbs, one tablespoon of the parmesan cheese, and one tablespoon of olive oil; set aside.
  • In a bigger bowl, lightly beat the egg, and add chicken, red pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, 1 Tablespoon of Parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Spray a regular sized muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon heaping spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into a muffin tin. Place a cheese cube (one of the pieces of cheese stick) down in the center of the mixture. Put one more spoonful of chicken mixture on top, making sure the cheese is covered completely.
  • Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture on top of each chicken mini.
  • Put the muffin tin in the oven and cook for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve with marinara sauce under the minis or in a cup on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality marinara sauce. This is the base of your dish, so make sure it's flavorful and delicious. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them just until they're cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese. Parmesan cheese is the traditional cheese for chicken parmesan, but you can also use mozzarella or a blend of cheeses.
  • Serve immediately. Chicken parmesan minis are best served hot out of the oven. They can be reheated, but they're not as good as when they're fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan minis are a delicious and easy appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken parmesan minis a try. You won't be disappointed!
