Quick and Easy Chicken Parmesan

 Whether you buy store-bought ground chicken or, like me, grind your own chicken and keep it in the freezer, this is such an easy and delicious recipe. It’s also one of Mark’s favorites! ❤️

I like making ours a little smaller and thinner because they get wonderfully crispy on the outside while staying juicy inside. And that final minute or two in the air fryer really takes them over the top! 😋 Note: You can cook them completely in the air fryer if desired but I find they dry out a bit.

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Asiago-Romano or Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (regular, panko, or a combination of both) I season my own with s&p and Italian seasoning
• Olive oil spray
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Marinara sauce, for serving microwaved to heat
• Cook pasta
  
  
  if desired

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Prepare the chicken mixture. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheese. Mix until well combined. Form into 4 large meatballs or 6–8 smaller ones. We prefer the smaller ones because they make thinner, crispier patties. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it.
3. Bread the patties. Coat each chicken ball in flour, then gently press it into a thin oval patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Dip each patty into the beaten egg, then coat well with breadcrumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into the chicken. Place on the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with olive oil. ✨
4. Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the patties and give them another light spritz of olive oil. Return to the oven and bake for another 6–8 minutes, until browned, crispy, and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Add the mozzarella. Sprinkle mozzarella over each patty. For an extra-crispy finish, transfer the patties (foil and all) to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 🧀 If you don’t have an air fryer, place them under the oven broiler for about 1 minute, watching closely so they don’t burn.
6. Serve hot over pasta with marinara sauce spooned over the top or on the side for dipping. 🍅❤️

Tip: Making the patties thinner gives you more of that crispy, cheesy coating in every bite—and that’s definitely how we like them! 😋

SC: The Devil - How To Defeat Him

"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia
withstood me twenty-one days; then Michael,
one of the chief princes, came to help me,
because I had been left there with the kings of Persia."
Daniel 10:13
A few verses later, the angel says:
"Do you know why I have come to you?
But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia;
and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth.
There is none who contends by my side against these
except Michael, your prince."

where he was tempted by the devil for forty days.

tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 

But Jesus told him, “No! 

The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone"

more than clothing? Look at the birds. 

They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, 

for your heavenly Father feeds them. 

And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? ...
