Chicken Milan

Tomato Bruschetta

Spaghetti with Parmesan Cream

Method

Chicken Milan

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with sea salt on both sides.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure they stick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, place slices of fresh mozzarella on top of each chicken breast and return to the oven until the cheese melts.

Tomato Bruschetta

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 6

    Add Flavors

    Chop the fresh basil and garlic, and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Spaghetti with Parmesan Cream

  1. 7

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 8

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In the same pot, over low heat, combine the heavy cream, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until warmed through. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  3. 9

    Combine

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the cream sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
