New Style Chicken Parm

2 New Style Chicken Parm

Feb 16

Ok kids this one is an adaption of one of Gordon Ramsay’s version of classic Chicken Parm. I love this so much I just can’t go back to the way my aunt makes it, I find this version to be a lot lighter and less stodgy. You won’t feel like hitting the couch after this one. I eat it as is, I don’t add any pasta as that will change how it will digest on your body I suggest a nice salad to go with it to cut some of the richness.

Servings

1 servings

Ingredients

Boneless skinless chicken breast
Fresh basil about 1/2 cup per serving
Olive oil
Cherry tomatoes one cup per serving
Balsamic vinegar
Fresh mozzarella cheese
Crushed red peppers
Clove of garlic chopped
Panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt
1 egg
Parmesan cheese

Directions

Take one chicken breast and split it in half cutting the thickness in half but leaving enough of the flesh attached that you can just open it up like a mini pizza.

Now set up a breading station, whisked egg and panko breadcrumbs . Season the breadcrumbs with kosher salt. Now heat a pan up to medium high and put olive oil in the pan. Now dip the chicken breast in the egg shaking off any excess and put into the panko and coat evenly.

Fry in the hot pan and make sure it’s hot of it will come out soggy and greasy about 4 min on the first side, turn and do another 3 minutes on the other side until its golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

Now cut up about one cup of cherry tomatoes and half a cup of fresh basil.(per chicken breast) In a hot pan with olive oil quickly sauté them together with the garlic. Add a splash of balsamic and some kosher salt. Should take about 2 min and put aside in a bowl just before the tomatoes break down too much. We are not trying to make tomato sauce here just bring all the flavors together.

Now take the chicken breast and put it on a baking sheet spoon a layer of the tomato mixture on top.
Cut the fresh mozzarella and lay on top. Add some kosher salt and some olive oil. Now bake at 450 degrees until the cheese is bubbling and starting to become golden.

Take out let it rest for a min and grate some Parmesan cheese on it and serve.

This definitely will take that old classic to a new place!

Enjoy!
