Tonight we tried a new meal (and it was one that hubby picked out!).
It was delicious!
Baked Parmesan Chicken
2-3 Tablespoons butter 2-4 slices whole wheat bread
2-3 Tablespoons parsley 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/8+ teaspoon garlic powder Paprika
2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast
Blend together in blender until small bread crumbs are formed:
bread slices, parsley, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.


Spray baking pan with olive oil nonstick spray.
Coat pieces of chicken with crumb mixture and lay in pan.


Garnish with paprika and a little parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350 until tender (about 1 hour).

With it, we had an italian rice pilaf.
I cook long grain brown rice and keep lots in the freezer.

This helps a lot because it takes almost an hour for this to cook the first time.
I find it helpful to be able to reach in the freezer to add to our meals.
I put some of the rice in my iron skillet
and added about 1/2 cup of water with an italian dressing seasoning mix stirred in.
I heated it till it was creamy and hot.
We also had a vegetable medley.
Here is the finished meal...

Lots of Mmmmmm's! It's a keeper!
Your dinner looks yummy. I always use the bread crumbs to batter just about anything. I coat my chicken in flour first then egg and then the crumbs and it makes a wonderful thick crust. You know what else, it's wonderful to let the bread get stale first, it makes the crust crunchier. Also you can freeze the crumbs for a really long time and take them out of the freezer and they are ready to go, no thawing required. I have a huge bag full in there now. I like the idea of the ready rice, I may have to do that one. Thanks for the ideas, looks great.
OH that looks so good. I just love the recipes you share :)

Oh, that's a good one. I used to do that, but I haven't in a while. We use brown rice over here as well. Being that it does take an hour to cook, it's great to have some on hand already in the freezer. The good thing is, is that it tastes pretty much the same when you take it out the freezer.
This is going to be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways....is the bread fresh or do you toast it or let it sit out for awhile before placing it in the blender. This looks yummy. I never thought to freeze brown rice. What a great idea. My number 1 reason for not fixing brown rice more often is the cooking time!
