30 Aug Tuscan Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 2 Chicken Breasts (skinless / boneless). I like to cut them in half and pound them out for ease of cooking and serving.
 - 1 egg, beaten
 - 1/2 Cup Flour (I use Bobs G.F. flour)
 - 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
 - 4-5 grinds of salt
 - 5-6 grinds of pepper
 - 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
 - 1 Tsp dried Oregano
 - 1/2 Tsp dried Thyme
 - 1 Tbsp Oil for frying
 
Sauce
- 2 Shallots finely chopped
 - 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
 - 1 Cup Sun-dried Tomatoes (drained and choppped)
 - 1 Tsp Tomato Paste
 - 1 Cup Heavy Cream
 - 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
 - 1 1/2 Cup Chicken Stock
 - 2 Cups Baby Spinach (packed)
 - Pasta of Choice (I use G.F. options)
 - Salt and Pepper to taste
 
Instructions
- Cut the Chicken breasts in half and pound out slightly.
 - Beat the egg for dipping.
 - Mix together flour, parmesan, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme.
 - Dip the Chicken in the egg and then dredge in the flour / cheese mixture.
 - Heat the oil in a large skillet, Add the chicken and cook on Medium until browned on both sides (about 8-10 minutes per side).
 - Remove Chicken and set aside.
 - In the same skillet add a bit more oil and add the Shallots. Sauté until slightly translucent (about 2-3 minitues). Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minitues.
 - Add the cream and chicken stock and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
