Chicken Piccata


Hello all, it has been a crazy while. I am here to show you a rather simple light chicken dish that is great for after work, school, or a weekend dinner. Here in Wisconsin, the weather is starting to get a little warmer and the snow is gone. So with that being said, I wanted something in between comfort food and something light and this dinner really hit the spot. A lightly fried chicken with a hint of lemon this chicken is a great dinner. 

Serving: 6

Ingredients: 
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (Pounded thin and cut in halves)
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Dry White Wine or Chicken Broth
5 Tablespoons Lemon Juice 
3 Garlic Cloves, minced 
1/8 Teaspoon Siracha
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 Cup Parsley Flakes 
1 Teaspoon Salt
Vegetable Oil 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250*

Pound out the chicken and flatten out breasts into 1/4 inch thickness. 

In a shallow dish combine egg, wine or chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and siracha. In another shallow dish combine flour, cheese, parsley, and salt. Coat chicken with flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, then coat again with the flour mixture. 

In a large non-stick skillet, heat up vegetable oil and brown chicken halves for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear. Remove from pan and place on a baking sheet with a cooling rack in the oven to keep warm. 

When all chicken is done, take out of the oven and serve with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Apple Cider Biscotti




Welcome fall! We have hit fall weather here in WI and the colors are starting to change so why not bring out some fall flavors. I absolutely love Italian desserts and anything I can dip in my tea in the morning is even better.  

This dessert is made with an Allulose Natural Sweetener which has 90% fewer calories than regular granulated sugar! It is not too sweet and has a wonderful light apple cider taste with a delightful apple cider cinnamon frosting. Enjoy the wonderful taste of fall in this amazing treat.

Ingredients: 
Biscotti
1/2 Cup Butter (1 Stick, Room Temperature) 
1 Cup  Keystone Pantry Allulose 
2 Eggs
1/4 Cup Apple Cider
3 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Sale

Apple Cider Glaze
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
 2 1/2 Tablespoons Apple Cider
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions: 
Biscotti 

Preheat oven to 350*
In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar until creamy. Add in eggs one at a time until combined. Slowly add in apple cider until it all comes together. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry mixture a little at a time with the wet mixture until combined. If the mixture is sticky add in a little bit of flour at a time until you are able to mold the dough.

Divide the dough in half on a floured surface or parchment paper. Shape each dough into a 12" log roll shape. Place each roll onto a pan with parchment paper at least 3 inches apart and flatten down the log until they are 1/2 inch in height.

Bake for 15-20 minute until they are golden brown. Take out of the oven and let sit until it is cool enough to handle and place onto a cutting board and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices back onto pan and back in the oven for 6 minutes, turn over and bake for another 6 minutes. Take out of oven and place onto the cooling rack and then frost.

Glaze:
Mix together; powdered sugar, apple cider, and cinnamon. Add in a bit more apple cider if you need the glaze a bit thinner. Frost biscotti after they have cooled.

Vegan Eggplant Parmesan


I have been making a change in my life and that is most of my diet is vegan food which I love. I am a person that can go with out meat and do not need it as a filler. So here and there I have been making vegan dinners for my family and so far there have been complaints and everyone has been enjoying my meals especially this one! No cheese, fresh ingredients, you will forget you are eating egg plant!

1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Salt&Pepper
1/2 Almond Milk
1 Teaspoon Cornstarch 
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Pasta
Marinara Sauce 

Instructions: 
Slice the eggplant into round less than 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle each side with seas salt, place in a colander for 15 minutes; This will help get rid of the bitter taste the eggplant may have. 
Rise Eggplant off and absorb with kitchen towels for 10 minutes until eggplant is dry.

Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil and nonstick spray. Durning this time start to prepare your noodles and sauce. 

Prepare your coating station: Place milk and cornstarch in one bowl; flour, salt and pepper in another bowl; and crumbs, yeast, garlic, and Italian seasoning in the last bowl. 

When eggplant is dry start breading, place your egg plant in flour, egg, then the crumb mixture. Place crumbed eggplant on foil and place into the oven. Take out 2-3 eggplant rounds at a time and fry until golden brown on each side; place back into the oven and grab 2-3 more. Egg plants should stay into the oven for at least 15-20 minutes.

Place pasta on a plate with sauce and eggplant rounds on top.
