Recipe: Parmesan Chicken with Homemade Garlic Croutons

As you know…I’m a big fan of foodwishes.com and again I tried his Parmesan Chicken plus homemade garlic croutons… He love it and so do my colleagues who have tried it ( I brought the leftover for my office lunch hehe…)

You must give it a try… so easy..simple yet yummy…

1. Homemade garlic croutons ( prepare it one day before)

 

• 5 slices of plain bread or half loaf French baguette (cut them into pieces)
• olive oil ( to cover all the bread)
• 4 or 5 gloves minced fresh garlic
• salt and pepper
• pinch of paprika
• dried oregano herbs
• finely grated parmesan cheese

 

1. Mixed the olive oil + garlic + salt + pepper + paprika, leave it for about 3 hours or more
2. Pre heat oven 150C
3. Use a small strainer to strain the olive oil while pour it inside the bowl of bread ( as we are not going to mix the garlic together with the bread, you can use the garlic for the parmesan cheese)
4. Stir it well and add the oregano herbs + parmesan cheese inside ( make sure they all blend together) 
5. Spread the well-blended-breads into the pan and now ready to bake
6. First bake it for 15 mins…stir it and then bake another 15 mins or more or until golden brown and of course crispy

2. Parmesan Chicken

1. Pan fried the boneless chicken breast with olive oil (half cooked)
2. Preheat the oven to 177C
3. Prepare deep square baking pan, pour and spread the olive oil and garlic inside
4. Lay the half cooked chicken inside (including the chicken juices from the pan) + mixed herbs
5. pour the marina sauce (until it all cover the chicken)
6. spread the garlic croutons on the top of the sauce + sprinkle some of the mixed cheese
