Let’s Get Cookin’

If you know anything about me, you probably know I am the worst cook in America. Peanut butter sandwiches, Ramen Noodles, Easy Mac and Lean Cuisines are my go to. No one can make a better instant meal than me. As much as I love the easiness and convenience of microwavable meals, it definitely gets old so I’ve turned to Pinterest for some simple and affordable meals. The latest meal I tried was the Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chickenwith Zucchini. Check out the recipe and instructions below:

 

Start to finish: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, sliced in half

8 tablespoons of butter, divided

½ cup Italian bread crumbs

½ cup plus 1 tablespoon grated parmesan, divided

¼ cup flour

2 medium zucchini, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced 

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. To make the chicken, melt remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow dish.
3. In another shallow dish combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and flour. Dip the chicken in the butter and then coat in the bread crumb mixture and place in skillet.
4. Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes until the outside is crispy and the chicken is cooked throughout. Set aside on plate.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of butter back to the skillet and sauté the minced garlic for a minute. Add the zucchini to the skillet and sauté until tender.
6. Salt and pepper to taste and add 1 tablespoon of parmesan.
7. Add the chicken back to the skillet and heat for a minute. Serve immediately.
