Week 5: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-parmesan-recipe.html

We had my old roommate and his wife over for dinner and I thought I would try out this recipe, since I had been thinking about wanting to make chicken parmesan for a while. I also wanted to find a recipe that didn't use breaded chicken, since it's pretty unhealthy and I was never really good at getting breaded stuff to stay crispy.

Another fun thing about this recipe was making the tomato sauce from scratch instead of just using a jar of premade sauce. We also bought a couple basil plants so it was cool to use basil from our own plants.

The only real change I made was to omit the butter on the chicken.

Served it on top of penne pasta and with a fresh garden salad.

We also had plenty of sauce leftover that we were able to freeze to use another time.

Josh's Rating: 3.5/5

          This was a nice, solid tasty recipe. The sauce definitely turned out really tasty. Nothing that blew me away but definitely worth making again.

Luisa's Rating: 3/5

          I like it better when the parmesan is crispier. I think I've had better chicken parmesan before, but I think that it's just because the recipe was so simple.
