CHICKEN ARRABBIATA STEW & PARMESAN DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large shallow casserole dish. Fry the onion over a low-medium heat for 7 mins or until soft and turning translucent. Turn up the heat slightly, add the chicken and fry for 5 mins until beginning to brown around the edges. Tip the garlic and chilli into the casserole and fry for 1 min. Stir through the pesto, pour in the stock and tomatoes, then add the thyme, sugar and some seasoning. Turn the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook gently for 40 mins. Remove the thyme and check the seasoning.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To make the dumplings, put the butter and flour in a bowl with ½ tsp fine salt, then rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in 50g of the cheese and pour in 50ml of the milk, then swiftly combine with a cutlery knife until everything is well distributed and you have a soft dough (add more milk if it's too dry). Briefly bring the dough together on a worksurface, then divide into eight balls.
• Arrange the dumplings over the stew, then scatter each with the remaining cheese. Put in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 25 mins or until the dumplings are doubled in size and golden brown. Scatter over the parsely and serve.

CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper.
• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.
• Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
• Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
• Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• First make the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Then add panko. Cook over medium-high heat, while tossing frequently, until crunchy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
• Heat oil and butter in the same skillet, add chicken. Fry until golden on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Transfer onto a plate.
• Lower the heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine, stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom. Add spinach, stir until slightly wilted. Stir in capers and lemon juice.
• Pour in 1/4 cup cooking water and cream, bring to a boil. Toss with spaghetti, then gradually stir in the Parmesan until it melts into the sauce.
• Slide chicken back into the skillet and stir, simmer for 1 minute. Finish off with basil leaves. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. If needed, add more pasta water to thin the sauce.
