Spoonful of Cinnamon

My resolution for the new year was to start a blog as I wanted an outlet for my passion, which is entertaining! As it is now March and I have celebrated yet another 25th birthday (one of these years the bars I go to are going to call me out on that one), and decided it is time to buckle down and start writing! I throw a lot of parties. Dinner parties, wine and cheese parties, custom pub crawls, I just love to entertain. I hope you enjoy some of the stories and recipes I plan to post here!

Chicken Parmesan

On Monday night, I was supposed to make big salads for dinner for me and Gimpy. I decided after Zumba however, that I really wanted chicken parmesan. So it was time to make some spaghetti sauce, pasta, and chicken parm with gooey slices of mozzerella on top. I wanted to go all out, not do the overly healthy version I make!

Chicken Parmesan
2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
1 egg
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Dried basil and oregano
2 thick slices of mozzerella

Preheat oven to 350. Beat the egg in a bowl, and put the bread crumbs on a plate with the spices. Dredge your chicken breasts through the egg, and then cover with the bread crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and place the cheese on the top of the chicken. Broil for 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve over spaghetti and your favorite sauce.
