Method

Chicken Milanese

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Arugula & Fennel Salad

  1. 4

    Make the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula and fennel. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.

Spaghetti Pomodoro

  1. 5

    Cook Spaghetti

    Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir in fresh basil.

  3. 7

    Combine

    Toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce until well coated.

Charred Lemon

    Char the Lemons

    Brush the cut sides of the lemons with olive oil and place them cut-side down in a hot skillet until charred, about 3-4 minutes.
