So...I'm trying another new recipe, this one also from Rachael Ray, from her latest magazine. The idea here, I think, is to cut the carbs and the bake time. It starts with ground chicken instead of chicken breasts (although I used ground turkey since the store I went to didn't have ground chicken). You mix herbs and seasonings into the chicken then spread the mixture into two 8 inch round cake pans and put them in the freezer for 4 hours ( I have less than 2...we'll see if that's enough time). When you pull them out, you coat them with flour, then eggs, then a breadcrumb mixture (with Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses) before pan frying them for about 4 minutes each. Then bake the pizzas for about 15 minutes. Top with marinara sauce and cheese mixture before serving.
It's quite interesting today because my daughter is also creating something new in the kitchen. We are getting creative about working around each other and using different dishes and appliances. Funny how we are both deciding to eat new and more healthful foods at the same time. :-)
So, back to our dinner. My husband came home while I was pan frying the pizzas so he had to wait about 20 minutes for dinner. Was it worth the wait????
The unanimous vote is... Yes! My husband and I, plus my daughter and a friend all said, "yumm"!
