CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN
FOR US, chicken breasts prepared this way is a nice reminder of when abalone was found in markets and menus on the West Coast. These days, abalone is scarce, so my son discovered a way to prepare chicken to resemble our favorite food. It's a wonderful, simple recipe. -Marian Platt, Sequim, Washington

CRISPY PARMESAN ROAST CHICKEN
Here's a recipe for roasted chicken with a twist-a crispy crust made by patting the bird with a generous amount of grated Parmesan. We spatchcocked the chicken by removing the backbone and flattening it, for more even and faster cooking. Then it's roasted atop aromatics for a quick one-dish weeknight meal. Be sure to scoop out the garlic for spreading on the chicken-or crusty bread served alongside.

Steps:
- Combine the minced thyme, minced rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Scatter the herb sprigs, lemon and onion wedges, garlic and carrots in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Using poultry shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Open the chicken breast-side up and press firmly in the center of the breast to flatten. Sprinkle the salt mixture over both sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on top of the aromatics in the baking dish, tucking the wing tips under, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- When ready to roast, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with the Parmesan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve on a platter with the roasted carrots, lemon, onion and garlic.

CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN BREASTS
I found this from Yahoo food, I believe it's a Kraft recipe. I tried this out since my DH loves anything with parmesan. It is so delicious and unbelievably easy. I usually cut the chicken breasts into tenders because I prefer a heavier crispy:chicken ratio. I usually tweak the recipe by adding extra breadcrumbs as well. This is an easy basic format for chicken that we eat almost weekly!

CRISPY PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Excellent served with roasted new potatoes. Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients or steps - it truly is simple to prepare. Prep time includes "resting" time for the crust.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy-duty foil and place a rack on it. Spray the rack lightly with oil.
- Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until they are well blended. Cut the chicken into ⅔" thick pieces or strips (or use chicken tenders, which are already about the size you want for this recipe. If you prefer a larger serving size of chicken, you can also butterfly the chicken into two thinner cutlets.). Add the chicken to the bowl and coat well on all sides.
- In a separate, shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper (optional). Mix well and then stir in the melted butter.
- Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken pieces. Move the dredged chicken to the wire rack.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake until the chicken is golden-crisp and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook it.
- To make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients for the cool Ranch sauce in a small bowl and refrigarate. (The sauce is best if made ahead of time).

ONE PAN CRISPY PARMESAN GARLIC CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray cooking spray in a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a shallow dish melt butter. In another shallow dish add bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Salt and pepper the chicken. Dip into the butter and then coat in the parmesan garlic crumbs. Lay in 9x13 pan.
- In a medium sized bowl add zucchini, yellow squash, and potatoes. Toss in the olive oil. Add some salt and pepper and remaining parmesan garlic bread coating. Lay on the sides of chicken in the pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked throughout and vegetables are tender.
Tips:
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the chicken easier to cook and will help it to crisp up.
- Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts or thighs until they are about 1/2-inch thick. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and will also help to tenderize it.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning, paprika, or chili powder.
- Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the egg wash to adhere to the chicken and will also help to create a crispy crust.
- Dip the chicken in beaten eggs. This will help the Parmesan cheese to stick to the chicken.
- Coat the chicken in Parmesan cheese. Press the chicken into the cheese so that it is evenly coated.
- Cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
