Oven Baked Chicken Breast

Tonight is another simple dinner, Oven Baked Chicken
You will boneless chicken breast..
To prepare chicken, pound them down with a mallet, if you don not have a mallet use a bottle or a pan.(make sure you put plastic wrap between the chicken and whatever you pound with.
Set up a  station with three, pie like plates, one with an egg,one with flour, salt & pepper. the last one with some
bred crumbs or  crushed corn flakes.

Dip chicken in flour mixture, then egg and lastly crumbs. Lightly grease a baking pan,with  Pam or canola oil.
Place Chicken on pan and bake for about 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a nice brown gravy. I opt for the gravy.

Gravy: saute some onions in olive oil , when tender add a little flour (1/2 -! tea) marsala wine some chicken broth, salt, and if you have rosemary (fresh or dried it adds a nice touch.

Grill up some veges: Zucchini, red peppers , onions,carrots and asparagus, sweet  potatoes. Cut all veges toss with a little
olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Put into oven with chicken for about 25 or so minutes

 Enjoy!!

Grilling and Chilling Chicken

Tonight it's summertime easy. I am grilling marinated  chicken legs and thighs.
For the marinade grab a little honey, fresh crushed garlic,a tablespoon or so of balsamic vinegar, tablespoon of
virgin olive oil, teaspoon of dijon mustard, dried Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Mix in small bowl and put it on the chicken. Let it sit in  the fridge for about an hour. Fire up your grill and GRILL!

With the grilled chicken I will have an Italian tomato salad( you know by now they are Jersey fresh) and a mixed green and arugula salad. Enjoy with a piece of good crusty Italian bread .
