Tortillaparmesan Crusted Chicken For Two Recipes

TORTILLA/PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN FOR TWO

Steps:

• For marinade: Combine dressing and garlic in a zip bag with chicken.
• Blend marinade and chicken by rolling bag around in between both hands.
• Let it marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator, but it's much better longer.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large zip bag, combine crushed chips, parmesan cheese, basil, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Pour half tortilla mixture out onto a paper plate for first chicken breast. Take first piece of chicken from the marinade bag, and coat both sides with mixture, pressing it into the meat. Place coated chicken breast on lined/treated sheet pan.
• Repeat above step with other breast.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 5-10 minute.
• Bake for 30-45 min or until chicken is cooked through.
• Coating should be golden brown and juices run clear.
• This would be good served with a tossed, potato or macaroni salad, potato side dish, sliced over a salad, steamed vegetables, etc.
• Note: Preparation time includes time to marinate.

SUPER EASY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly spray a pie plate or a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
• Combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and salt in a shallow dish (I use a paper plate). Place egg in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip each side of each chicken breast in egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on prepared pan.
• Bake for 18 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until done.
• Take the chicken out and switch the oven to BROIL.
• Divide the sauce evenly and pour over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella cheese.
• Broil 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• In a small bowl, whisk 2 teaspoons of the mustard with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the thyme.
• Season the chicken breasts, on both sides, with salt and pepper - then brush them all over with the mustard mixture.
• Pat about 2 T. of the parmesan on EACH chicken breast (both sides) - it should take about 1/2 Cup total for all 4 breasts.
• Transfer the chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet (I line mine with alum. foil sprayed with just a touch of Pam - for easy release and clean-up).
• Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through and nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and oil; then stir in the water.
• Add the arugula (or spring mix lettuce) and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Spoon the salad onto plates, top with the chicken and serve!
