SUPER EASY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN FOR TWO



Super Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan for Two image

This recipe is based off of a Cooking Light recipe, but it is not pan fried at all. You could easily double this recipe, but I cook for two, so this is perfect for us. I serve this with veggies and crescent rolls.

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb sliced boneless chicken breast
1/2 sliced red bell pepper
1/2 sliced green bell pepper
1 medium french cut white onion
8 -10 medium mushrooms (baby bella recommended)
2 tablespoons green onions
1 cup white rice
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce (kikkoman recommended)
1/3 cup marsala wine
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried ginger
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute sliced chicken in hot oil until one side is cooked and then add white onion while turning chicken.
  • Cook until onions are very soft.
  • Toss in red and green peppers, mushrooms and green onion and continue sauteing over med/high heat.
  • Stir in Cilantro, garlic powder, ginger, salt and pepper.
  • (If you use a very salty soy sauce you might not want to add salt)
  • Continue cooking until red and green peppers are soft.
  • Once peppers are soft stir in Marsala wine and soy sauce, continue cooking over med/high heat until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and you are left with a thick sauce.
  • Pour over a bed of rice and serve.
  • NOTE*It is very important to keep cooking until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated because you want the flavor of the soy sauce and wine on the vegetables NOT on the plate in a puddle.
  • If you prefer extra sauce for the rice just use more soy sauce and wine but make sure you burn off most of the excess water or your dish will lack flavor and be too liquidy.
  • Adding a little extra olive oil will always help to thicken the sauce.
  • Enjoy.
