Zucchini Chips

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or other seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 small zucchini, sliced as thinly as possible

DIRECTIONS
-Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper together and place in a small bowl (For dredging, I actually prefer to place the mixture in a small, square plastic container.
-Put milk in another small bowl or plastic container.
-Dredge zucchini slices in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture. Place on ovenproof wire rack coated with cooking spray and place rack on baking sheet. I don’t have a for zucchini slices this small, so I put my slices on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of aluminum foil coated in baking spray- This worked fine.
-Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and crisp (check every few minutes toward the end to make sure they aren’t getting too browned. You may want to take a few off at this point if they are browning faster than others.
-Serve immediately, and I do mean IMMEDIATELY.

Oven Roasted Parmesan Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. crushed garlic (garlic puree from a jar is perfect here)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (I used Penzeys)
1/4 cup whole wheat Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Combine crushed garlic, olive oil, and poultry seasoning in small pan and heat 1 minute, until just warm.

Trim all visible fat and membranes from chicken breasts, then make small crosswise slits about 1/2 inch apart down the length of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut too far into the chicken. (This helps the garlic and herb flavor penetrate the chicken more.) Put chicken into zip loc bag, pour heated oil over, and marinate all day in refrigerator.

To cook, take chicken out of refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for a few minutes while you preheat oven to 425.

Mix bread crumbs and parmesan (pulse a few times in food processor if the mixture isn't fine enough.) Place cheese/breadcrumb mixture in flat dish and dip each chicken breast into it, pressing on as much of the coating as you can.

Place each chicken piece in casserole dish which has been sprayed with nonstick spray. or olive oil. Bake until chicken is firm and cooked through, about 25 minutes, then put under the broiler to brown more if desired. (Original directions said to bake 30-40 minutes, but I wouldn't cook it that long. Actual cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts, but chicken should feel firm but not hard when it's cooked.)
