New "Chicken" Parmesan


I snagged this recipe off Epicuroius.com and absolutely LOVE it! I substitute the chicken with Quorn Naked Chik Cutlets.


yield: Makes 4 servings


Ingredients:
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 12-ounce container grape tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Large pinch of dried crushed red pepper
4 Quorn Naked Chik Cutlets

1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese in water, drained, thinly sliced


Preparation:


  • Preheat oven to 500° F. Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl.

  • Place tomatoes in medium bowl; mix in 2 tablespoons garlic oil, then oregano and crushed red pepper.

  • Microwave Chik Cutlet per instructions.

  • Add Chik Cutlets to large bowl with remaining garlic oil and turn to coat.

  • Place 1 cup Parmesan in pie dish. Dip 1 side of each Chik Cutlet into cheese to coat; arrange Chik Cutlet, cheese side up, on 1 half of large rimmed baking sheet. Scatter tomatoes on other half of sheet.

  • Roast Chik Cutlet until just cooked through and firm to touch, about 10 minutes.

  • Arrange mozzarella slices atop Chik Cutlet. Return to oven; roast until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Transfer Chik Cutlets and tomatoes to 4 plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

  • Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions:



  • This dish goes great with a nice orzo/asparagus/fresh lemon juice pasta and baby spinich cooked with olive oil and garlic..
