Combined a Chicken parmigiana recipe with a Speedy Bolognese sauce, some potatoes (cheaper than chips) and salad.
Here's my adjusted recipe. Apologies for the bad formatting, I'll fix it later when I have more time.
Prep: 40 minutes? |Cook: 25 minutes? | Serves: 2 (with 2 smaller leftover portions)
The Sauce
This makes quite a bit, but if you have leftovers (I had about 1/4 cup left over)
Combine:
- 400g diced tomatoes (I used a can)
- ¼ cup tomato paste,
- Assorted herbs
- I used 1 tbsp dried basil leaves and, 1/2 tbsp a mix of oregano; marjoram; thyme and chilli flakes
- 1/3 cup water
The Parma
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup dry wheat free breadcrumbs
- 2 egg whites
- 600g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- olive oil
- Shredded mozzarella/tasty cheese
- thin slices of ham (about 8 slices)
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Place the Parmesan on a sheet of greaseproof paper and the breadcrumbs on another sheet.
- If you don't have flat chicken at this time, you will need to hammer them flat to look like a parma/ensure it cooks easily.
- Beat the egg white in a shallow bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Dip the chicken into the Parmesan, then into the egg whites, and then into the breadcrumbs.
- Heat some oil over moderate heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
Not high heat, otherwise the outside will burn and will take longer tp cook through in the oven. - Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, adding more oil as necessary
- Cover an oven tray with baking paper and place chicken on top
- Sprinkle chicken with the mozzarella and spoon The Sauce on top
- Bake for 5 minutes
- Remove from oven and add slices of ham to each piece of chicken
- Add more cheese on top
- Cook for at least 5 more minutes until cheese melted, and chicken is cooked through. (I ended up cooking for about 20 minutes because I didn't fry them long enough to start with)
The Potatoes
- a few potatoes
- butter
- Pierce potato skins all over with fork,
- Cut a cross in them and place some butter on each one.
- Cook in microwave on HIGH 10 minutes or until tender, stand
The Presentation
When the chicken is done, serve with the potatoes and some salad leaves.
Here's a photo to mine from the second time around (note: Added leftover tuna/egg salad instead of plain lettuce).
