Parmesan-Panko Chicken

   In the summer, I try my hardest to find recipes that won't heat up my kitchen, so many dishes I have to put away until its not 90 degrees outside. I'll give any pan sear recipe a shot, and for some reason I had a lot of Panko in my pantry.

Ingredients
   2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
   1/2 cup of all purpose flour
   1 tsp of kosher salt
   1/2 tsp of black pepper
   2 large eggs
   1/4 cup of whole milk
   1 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
   1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan
   2 tbs of butter
   2 tbs of olive oil

Directions
    1. Carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally and get 4 thinner cutlets.
    2. Place the cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet to pound to a 1/4 inch.
    3. In a pie plate, combine, salt and pepper. In another plate whisk together milk and eggs, and in a final plate combine Panko and Parmesan.
    4. Lightly dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg and then Panko mix.
    5. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
    6. When melted, add 2 chicken cutlets. Let them cook on each side for 2 to 3 minutes.
    7. Before 2nd set, add the second butter and oil tablespoons.


Changes I Made!
   I just found thinly sliced chicken breasts instead of preparing them. You can add marinara sauce and melted mozzarella.

Baked Potato Soup

   Baked potato soup is one of the first soups I learned how to make, and this recipe is my go to recipe, especially in the middle of winter, because most of the ingredients I have on hand at all times. Ingredients    2 medium potatoes, bakes and cooled    1 can of chicken broth    2 tbs of sour cream    1/8 tsp of pepper    1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese Directions    Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes.    Place 1/2 of the potato in a blender and with chicken broth.    Pour mix into sauce pan and add remaining potato, sour cream and pepper.    Cook over low heat until heated through.    Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever else you want. Changes I made!    I do not mess with this recipe except what I add on top when I eat. This recipe is from Taste of Home. 

By the Cookbooks

Hello one and all,       Since living on my own, I've fostered a great love for cooking. It's how I show people I care, and I find great comfort in it.       Now, I have a friend who knows this about me and regularly buys me cookbooks as gifts, but I have never used them. I either ask family members for recipes or go online to for recipes. Pinterest has been my diet's best friend. Six cookbooks just sat there, waiting to have their creations made.       After a free weekend, I decided to dig into my 6 cookbooks and have found many new recipes I want to try.      The six cookbooks, all very different, but also represent a different part of my life.      I've picked recipes from:      1) The "I Don't Know How to Cook" Book, 2nd edition by Mary-Lane Kamberg.      2) The Book Lover's Cookbook by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger & Janet Kay Jensen.      3) 100 Perfect D...
