Tortillaparmesan Crusted Chicken For Two Recipes

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 TORTILLA CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Whisk the oil, oregano, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat just until warm. Set aside for 15 minutes. Brush the oil mixture over both sides of the tortillas. Stack the tortillas and cut them into 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide strips. Arrange the strips in a single layer over the baking sheets. Sprinkle the cheese and salt over the strips. Bake until the strips are golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes. Do-Ahead Tip: The tortilla strips can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in airtight containers and keep at room temperature.

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.
