Recipe Review From "It's Good for You"

[jdavis]

I just made the Parmesan Chicken and Pasta from this cookbook, I have wanted to make it since I got the book but just hadn't gotten around to it. But I can say that I will definately be making it again. It was great. Of course I didn't measure anything, I just went by sight like I almost always do at home but it still turned out great.

OK, I figured I would go get the recipe before someone asks for it, so here it is.....

Parmesan Chicken and Pasta
(It's Good For You!...pg 67)

4 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (3-4 oz each), thawed
2 egg whites
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 cup fat-free seasoned croutons, grated (1/2 cup crumbs)
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbls flour
4 oz uncooked angel hair pasta
1 (14 oz) jar tomato and basil spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Using Kitchen Shears, remove chicken from package and trim off any visible fat.

2. Using Mini-Whipper, beat egg whites in Classic Batter Bowl until frothy. Press garlic into egg whites using Garlic Press. Using Deluxe Cheese Grater fitted with coarse grating drum, grate croutons and Parmesan cheese into shallow bowl. Add oregano and black pepper; mix well.

3. Coat chicken breasts with flour. Dip into egg white mixture. Coat both sides of each chicken breast with crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Discard any remaining crumb mixture. Place chicken on Classic Round Stone; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 20-25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

4. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Place spaghetti sauce in Small Micro-Cooker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2 minutes or until hot. Divide pasta among four serving plates. Top with one chicken breast half, a scant 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

OH, it was so good, in fact I laid out 3 packages of breasts so we had it for dinner again tonight, MMMMMMM. I didn't pay attention to how much chicken was in those packages, I guess this time I grabbed the right ones from the store, lol.
