This recipe came from one of my toddler cook books, which calls for shallots, fresh garlic...blah, blah, blah...no time for that for lunch, so I made this variation of Chicken Parmesean for lunch and my little man ate it up!!! It is pizza night...so I like to make something good for lunch to give him the opportunity to get his protein and veggies in for the day.
1 or 2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/8 cup shredded parm cheese (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 shake of minced onions
1 tbsp flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 can diced tomatoes (optional)
1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
Sprinkle of mozzerella cheese (optional)
1. Cut the chicken in strips and beat them to about 1" thick (what - no time for that, so I just cook them)
2. Heat oil on stove over med heat.
3. Sprinkle the chicken with flour (and turn to coat with the flour).
4. Put bread crumbs, garlic salt, minced onions and parm cheese in a ziplock bag; dip chicken in the egg; add chicken to ziplock bag; seal and shake.
5. Cook chicken in the oil until done (about 3min a side if you beat them - about 4 - 5 min if not)...I also like to cut the thickest one in 1/2 to make sure they are done before I feed them to my little man.
6. Heat the diced tomatoes and the tomato paste in a pan until simmering, serve over the chicken with the sprinkle of mozzerella cheese. (However, my little man doesn't really care for tomatoes or mozzerella cheese right now and we are having pizza for dinner - so I skipped all that and they came out more like chicken nuggets.)
The recipe in the book calls for some kind of vinegar cucumbers (for a Toddler? I don't think so...). However, I served it with my roasted mixed veggies and it was a hit!!!
Enjoy!!
