The Vespucci Cafe is now serving Parmesan chicken with mixed baby greens & roasted potatoes
Parmesan chicken with mixed baby greens

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/108820

Serve with: Steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes. Dessert: Baked apples.

Servings: Makes 4 servings.

2/3 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) or fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 egg
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds total)

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

6 cups mixed baby greens

Stir together panko, Parmesan, and marjoram on large plate. Whisk egg in small shallow bowl. Place chicken in plastic bag. Using rolling pin, pound to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Place chicken on plate; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush on all sides with egg. Dredge in panko mixture, turning to coat evenly.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until deep golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Reduce heat to medium; cool skillet slightly. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar. Stir, scraping up browned bits, until vinaigrette is just hot.

Divide baby greens among 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette and top with chicken. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.

2. Hey, as long as I'm in there somewhere...
:evilgrin:

Makes me think of that old Steve Martin - Bernadette Peters joke from "The Jerk"...he asks her if she'd think of him if she were making love to another man and she said "Maybe the two of YOU could make love and think of ME" and he said "I'd be happy just to be in there somewhere..."

:rofl:

7. Very nice, that you put your recipes up there for all the world to see. Very, very
nice. Better than using them to make someone think they're SPECIAL.

Hmmph.

8. Here's my theory on making one's opinion known...
...it's always better to tell them what you think three or four times because they might not hear it the first time. Or the second. Or the third.

That gives the person three to four opportunities to say

You talkin' to ME?



And if that doesn't work, there's always the tarantella. A couple rounds of that and ALL is forgiven.
