Delicious Italian Chicken Parmesan

This tasty Italian classic has been modified a little by adding longhorn cheese in addition to the Parmesan. The recipe looks a little complicated and drawn out but it really isn't hard to do. Assembling the ingredients will take almost as long as the cooking. The cooking is done in 3 stages: First the chicken tenders are cooked. I used my favorite black iron chicken fryer skillet. Secondly the sauce is heated in the microwave, and thirdly the parts are combined and finished off by melting the cheese under a broiler.

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast tenders
1 1/3 cups grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten slightly
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup shredded longhorn cheese
1/2 teaspoon basil (dried)

Instructions:
1 - Preheat broiler
2 - Combine 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, basil & 1/8 teaspoon salt
3 - Dip each chicken tender in egg, then crumb mixture
4 - Melt butter in cast iron skillet and cook chicken tenders approximately

3 minutes per side, then set aside.
5 - Combine remaining salt, spaghetti sauce, lemon juice, and pepper.
6 - Heat sauce in microwave for 2 minutes on high
7 - Place chicken pieces in oven proof bake dish, then pour sauce over, sprinkle

with longhorn cheese and remaining parmesan cheese.
8 - Broil for 2 minutes or so, just enough time to melt the cheese topping.

Quick and Easy Healthy Chicken Recipes

If you are looking for some new quick and easy healthy chicken recipes to prepare, I've got something delicious that I would love to share with you. Prepared with a healthy body in mind. Chicken is a family favorite, so I am always searching for healthy, tasty and quick to prepare recipes.

Keeping it healthy, I always prepare my pans with PAM or simply rub olive oil on the meat rather than oiling the pan. This practice helps to moisten the meat without leaving it to swim in oil or fat. Salt is kept to a minimum while fresh herbs and a few spices are used instead. Lemon works well with many healthy chicken recipes. It's a great taste that doesn't add any fat and very few calories.

A wife and mother of three boys, I also look for quick and easy recipes that my family will enjoy. It's no fun eating diet foods when the rest of the family is enjoying their favorite meal. So many of my recipes are for the whole family. My lip-smacking Oven Baked Fried Chicken will make you think it was fried in a cast iron skillet and crisped up the way grandma used to do it. Remember: portion size is important when it comes to losing weight, even when the food is prepared in a low fat, healthy manner.

For this recipe you will need:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup Corn Flakes, crushed
1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
Salt to taste

Rub chicken with olive oil.
Add a little salt for flavor.
Pat with bread crumbs on each side
Roll in corn flakes.

Place in prepared baking dish and bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Check for doneness, depending on how thick your chicken breasts are, they should be done or nearly done.

Health Benefits: Chicken is a great source of protein that is low in fat, especially when the skin is removed. If you like the moisture that the skin provides, you can leave it on while cooking but remove it before eating to keep it low fat. Remember every cell in your body depends on protein for growth, be sure to have a serving of protein with every meal.

The Top Potbelly Cast Iron Fireplaces

Cast iron fireplaces are made of materials that are one of the strongest and sturdiest in the market. It is often described as a means to warm up the home. Fire pits were traditionally made of brick and mortar materials. In the old days when people used to cook food over the fireside, they did not worry about added accessories. Decorations like the fireplace door or the fireplace screen were not that popular yet. However, many people began to see the structure as more than just a place for cooking and warming up the place. The English created the styles based on the Victorian image of designing household furniture and equipment with the metal.

Cast iron fireplaces come in various sizes and shapes. Depending on the type of style that you prefer, you can easily choose from a wide variety of options. The Potbelly brand for the cast iron types is one of the most popular in the market. Replacement parts for any of the accessories such as the candle holder, glass casings, candelabra sets and covers associated with the brand are also sold in the market at very affordable prices. It is advised that you consider the size of the area before you purchase the model of the firebox that you want. Smaller sized models are perfect for your patio while those of the larger sizes are useful for both indoors and outdoors.

One of the top models of cast iron fireplaces made by Potbelly is the Old Mountain 10141 Black Mini Potbelly Stove Set. The set is sold with a black color finish that is almost an exact duplicate of traditional railroad heating systems. The model comes with a stove pipe, burner cover, coal bucket and the fireplace Toolset of a shovel pot, pan and skillet. The style is easy to install in any part of your home. Accessories are furnished with the package and some replacement parts can be found on the online market as well.
