Sunday dinner; chicken Parmesan with mezzi rigatoni and sautéed spinach. #Cooking #FYP #Sunday #Cutlets 

-Slice skinless chicken breasts in half, place between cling wrap and tenderize with a meat bat or heavy bottomed sauce pan. 

-Make a dredging station with flour, egg wash, and panko breadcrumbs. Season each with S&P, and to the breadcrumbs add granulated garlic and fresh grated Parmesan. Go from flour, to egg wash, to breadcrumbs. 

-For the sauce, heat some quality olive oil and perfume with a few basil stems and a clove of garlic. After a few mins remove and add half a diced white onion and sweat. Add a few cloves of crushed garlic and cook out for a couple mins. Add San Marzano tomatoes (crushed or whole peeled), some tomato paste, 1/4-1/2 cup red wine, S&P. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, add some fresh basil and cook over a simmer for one hour.

-In a good sauté pan heat oil olive to roughly 325 degrees. Add the chicken cutlets, laying away from you as to not get splashed by the hot oil. Cook 3-5 mins on each side. Remove and place in a baking pan or sheet, cover with marinara sauce, top with fresh mozzarella, fresh cracked pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan. Finish in a 400 degree oven for 4-5 mins. 

-Strain the pasta, add a knob of butter, sauce and coat well.

-Add some blanched spinach to a sauté pan with finely sliced garlic and red chili flakes and warm through.
