Parmesan Chicken

This little number is an easy fix on a weeknight, or any night! I served it to some friends tonight, with spaghetti, Greek tomato sauce and Caesar salad. I found it on the Taste of Home website.

1/2 c. parmesan
1/4 c. fresh breadcrumbs (I used one bun)
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. paprika
parsley, salt & pepper
1/4 c. butter (approx)
6 chicken breasts (fresh or thawed)

Mix dry ingredients. Dip breasts in butter (snicker, snicker), dredge in flour. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. (I flip after 18 minutes or so)

Amazing Fish

The recipe for the crumbs below comes from our friends outfitting company (the pictures are from our weekend trip to their earthly piece of paradise.) The fish I used was Northern Pike (Jackfish), and it was the one that is shown here. The butter sauce is my own creation, since you all know how much I love diet food.

Amazing Fish

25 saltine crackers

1/8 c. cornstarch

1 c. flour

salt & pepper

butter

Juice of 1 Lime

lemon juice

fresh parsley

pepper

Crush crackers with rolling pin, mix with cornstarch, flour & seasonings (can add lemon pepper if desired). Dredge fish in crumbs, fry in butter in pan. Pile fried fish on a pan, cover & keep warm. Add more butter to the pan, scraping the bottom and edges of the pan. Add juice from the lime, a tbsp or two of lemon juice, pepper and fresh parsley. Cook for a short time, then pour this all over the fish. Serve immediately.
