Zesty Chicken Parmesan

I made this last night and served it over whole wheat angel hair pasta, my favorite pasta sauce and fresh grated cheese. This makes enough for 2 servings, but is easily doubled.

Ingredients:

2- Chicken Breasts, pounded to the thinness desired, the thinker it is the faster they cook!

1 cup- mixture of zesty and italian bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

salt and pepper to tasty

cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F and either line or spray a baking sheet

Once chicken is pounded to desired thickness, salt and pepper each side.

Dredge each breast through the bread crumb mixture, your you can pour it over on the prepared dish.

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top of the breasts.

Spray the cooking spray over the top of the breast, it helps the tops to come out nice and crispy.

Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way though, don't over cook!

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 egg

3 tbsp milk

3 tbsp oil

3 tbsp chocolate chips(optional)

3 tbsp pecans/nuts (optional)

a splash of vanilla extract

1 large microwave safe coffee mug

Directions:

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add egg and mix well before adding the milk and oil. Mix in vanilla, nuts, and chocolate chips. Put mug in microwave and zap at 1000 watts for 3 minutes. The cake will puff over the top. Remove from microwave and allow to cool.

Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

Made these tonight, makes 8 enchiladas!

Ingredients:

8-16 corn tortillas, if you want to double up use 16 since they do rip easily

2 chicken breast, about a pound, boiled and shredded

2+ cups of mexican blend cheese

1 (8oz) can Old El Paso enchilada sauce, I used the mild sauce

Directions:

Preheat ove to 375 degrees

Spray cooking dish

For boiling the chicken: in 6 or so cups of water boil both chicken breast, salt and pepper the water, or add a chicken bouillon cube. remove chicken once cooked all the way through, let cool then shred. Save about 1/2 cup of the broth to pour over the enchiladas.

For enchiladas: in a bowl mix together shredded chicken, 3/4 can of enchilada sauce and 1 cup of cheese. Spoon mixture onto one end of tortilla and roll, place in dish with seam side down. Repeat 7 more times. There might be some chicken mixture left over, just pour the rest on top of the enchiladas. Then pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Cover the top with remaining cheese.

Cook in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

**To spice it up add a couple spoonfuls of salsa to the chicken mixture, tasty!!
