If you are looking for a satisfying meal that does not take
long to cook but warms the house on a chilly evening, then PARMESAN of your
choice is the way to go. This meal can be made with meat or meatless…customize
it to fit your family’s needs.
Ingredients:
·
For the
BASE you want a chicken breast, turkey tenderloin, eggplant, large zucchini
or crookneck squash, or Portobello mushroom. I prefer organic when I can obtain
them. If using meat, look for boneless and skinless for this recipe.
·
Coating:
Gluten Free (I
prefer Ian’s) Panko Breadcrumbs
·
Sauce:
Pasta sauce of your choice, parmesan (and or mozzarella or an Italian blend)
cheese, and garlic
Instructions:
·
If using a vegetable, pre-slice into 1/2 inch
thick wedges.
·
Dice 4-8
cloves of garlic (depending on size)
·
Add a cup of Gluten Free (Ian’s) Panko
Breadcrumbs to a bag (I often reuse produce bags from the store to cut down on
my environmental waste) and place a piece of meat or 1 cut vegetable into the
bag. Slice and pat to coat. (Continue till all is coated…do not overload bag…be
careful when coating so the vegetables do not break down)
·
Add coated meat/vegetables to a pan with olive
oil (just enough to avoid anything sticking to the pan) and sauté on both sides
for 2-5 minutes depending on thickness.
·
Transfer to a foil lined baking sheet.
·
Preheat oven to 350.
·
While oven is warming add sauce and garlic to
the pan. 1-2 cups of sauce will cover 2 pieces of meat or vegetables (cut).
·
After the sauce is warmed, cover the prepared
meat or vegetables.
·
Sprinkle cheese on top
·
Bake for 20 minutes if vegetables and 30 minutes
if meat.
