Chicken Paresan

 

This was really easy and yummy  You will need about a cup of flour, 1 egg, about 1 cup of milk or cream, panko bread crumbs and some chicken breasts or tenders.

 Whisk the milk and egg together.  Dip the chicken in the egg mixture then in the flour then back in the egg and then in the bread crumbs.

 

 Brown chicken in a heated skillet with a little oil

 Flip after 4-5 min and then cook 3-4 more min

 Remove from skillet and place in over on 300 to keep warm and finish cooking

 Take about 1/2 can of tomato puree place it in a sauce pan and add a couple tablesoons of Italain seasoning and 3-4 cloves of grated garlic

 Simmer

 Be sure to add your linguini to some boiling water

 Remove chicken from the oven for just a min and spoon some tomato puree on each piece of chicken

 Grate a little mozzarella on the chicken and flip on the broiler for a few min. I used whole milk mozzarella because it melts better but you can use low fat.

 Add about 1/2 cup of cream to the rest of the tomato sauce.

 Mix with pasta and add a little salt and pepper.

 Remove chicken from the broiler be sure to check it often so it doesnt burn but you want it golden brown.

Vodka Cream Pasta

 

This so yummy and pretty quick and easy.

Here is what you need a pound of pasta (I used mini bow ties but you can use anything) a couple table spoons of olive oil, 1 cup of cream, 1 T of butter, 1 small onion, 1 can of tomoatoe puree, a couple cloves of garlic, some red pepper flakes (if you want) 3/4 cup of Vodka (I used the cheapest stuff at the store) 1 cup of parmesan.

I only used half of my onion because it was large but if you have a small onion or like a lot of onion you can use a whole onion.  Finely mince the onion. You don't want large chunks of onion.  Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and add the onion, and then either press or grate a few cloves of garlic into the skillet.  I use my microplane zester to grate the garlic it is a lot easier to clean than my press.  Saute the onion and garlic until golden brown and little bits of brown starts sticking to the pan.  It is important to use a regular pan and not non-stick.  Those brown bits won't form in a non-stick pan and add good flavor.

Add 3/4 or 1 cup of vodka to the pan and lit simmer for 3-4 min.

Add the tomato puree and mix thoroughly

Add 1 cup of cream

Mix thoroughly

Add red pepper flakes to taste. We like a little snap in our food

Add a generous amount of black pepper and about 1 t of salt.

Whisk in 1 T of butter until melted in

Add about a cup or more great Parmesan cheese. Mix in and bring a simmer to be sure it is hot.

Add cooked pasta or sauce to pasta depending on the size of your pans.

Mix together and taste check for salt and pepper and pepper flakes. If it is took runny add a little more cheese.
