hey guys welcome back to another video
0:02
recently I shared a baked chicken pound
0:05
recipe on my Instagram and lots of you
0:08
wanted the recipe for it so today we're
0:11
gonna do just that now this recipe is
0:13
gonna be great for somebody will be for
0:15
a healthier and a lower fat version of
0:19
the delicious crispy and cheesy chicken
0:22
parm we're not cutting back on the
0:25
cheese just cheese is good it's a good
0:27
source of protein it's low on fat so
0:30
don't worry about that so let's get
0:32
started right now so before we get
0:41
started with the chicken make sure to
0:42
pre-heat your oven at 450 so I'm going
0:45
to start with putting one chicken breast
0:47
in our ziploc bag and then I'm gonna use
0:50
my rolling pin to just flatten this out
0:53
into a quarter of inch thickness you may
0:56
use your meat tenderizer to do this
0:58
instead flattening the chicken won't
1:01
only help cook a chicken faster but
1:05
there's way more surface area for for a
1:08
crispy panko bread coating to make our
1:12
chicken extra crispy more sauce more
1:15
cheese and more chicken goodness so
1:18
after it's done just take it out of the
1:21
Ziploc you can use your hands or your
1:27
sort of bread the chicken you're gonna
1:30
need your flour one egg and you panko
1:33
bread crumbs go ahead and season your
1:35
flour with salt some pepper make sure to
1:40
lightly whisk up your egg and we're
1:44
gonna season the breadcrumbs some
1:47
Italian seasoning that extra kick I just
1:50
like to give this all a mix not a bread
1:55
your chicken grab your tongs we're gonna
1:58
put the chicken first in our flour make
2:02
sure it's completely coated
2:05
I'm the flower shake off any excess go
2:10
to the egg set that set so it's all
2:25
to drain off any excess egg then we're
2:29
gonna go to our panko now we have to get
2:33
our hands a little dirty can't get away
2:36
with tongs now just so we can really get
2:39
that panko in that chicken so turn it's
2:48
all in there and press it's gonna help
2:52
get that punk or really in that chicken
2:55
and will help make our chicken really
2:57
crispy if you were to put some thyme and
3:01
the breadcrumbs could easily fry up some
3:05
delicious chicken stencils so you can
3:08
see the more I press the more dense are
3:11
courting of breadcrumbs become and the
3:13
crispier our chicken will be so a
3:17
chicken is nice and breaded and the oven
3:19
is hot so go ahead and put your chicken
3:21
in the oven and let it bake until it's
3:24
golden brown now make sure to adjust
3:27
your rack so it's one or two positions
3:29
lower than the broiler or the top
3:31
element of your oven this is gonna
3:34
really have to get that color on that
3:36
breadcrumb now you may have noticed I
3:37
put my breaded chicken on a wire rack
3:40
this is just to make sure that as the
3:43
top Browns the bottom does not become
3:46
mushy because it's in direct contact
3:48
with the cheap pan so the wire rack will
3:52
give it some height some distance and
3:55
it's gonna help crisping up the bottom
3:57
as well so as your chicken is cooking go
4:00
ahead and start boiling the water for
4:02
your pasta and make sure you have the
4:05
marinara sauce ready which you may find
4:07
the link right up there it's my classic
4:10
marinara sauce and I like to make it in
4:12
so everything goes super smooth when
4:14
it's time to cook it make sure the
4:16
season your water it's salt this is the
4:19
only stage where you can see the new
4:21
pasta so make sure you generously season
4:23
the water and now add in your pasta let
4:28
that sit for about 30 seconds just twist
4:32
get that past and bring the water back
4:35
up to a boil and cook until al dente
4:38
about seven to eight and once you pasta
4:41
is about three to four minutes out from
4:43
being al dente go ahead and start
4:46
heating up your sauce bring the sauce up
4:48
to a simmer add your pasta into your
4:51
sauce you just gonna toss spaghetti in
4:56
the sauce and let it steam in it and
4:59
then it's cook with it for about a
5:00
minute so that delicious homemade
5:04
marinara really gets in there so after
5:06
15 minutes are done chicken should look
5:09
a little bit like this now this point
5:12
let's start to top off our chicken now
5:14
just use about a tablespoon and a half
5:17
of your marinara just eyeball it and
5:20
really spread that out nicely on your
5:25
chicken I like to keep a little bit of
5:27
the edge exposed just for some visual
5:30
effect now add in a healthy tablespoon
5:33
of sour cream I'm using light sour cream
5:37
you can use full fat if you want but I
5:39
guess that's not the purpose for this
5:42
particular recipe what the sour cream
5:44
does it adds a really delicious
5:48
creaminess when you bite into that
5:51
chicken I like loading up on it and now
5:53
let's add in our mozzarella again for
5:58
this recipe I'm using some light
6:01
mozzarella I think the taste is about
6:05
the same super delicious and I really
6:09
loved this light mozzarella cheese it's
6:12
one of my favorites let's load up on
6:17
that cheese and then finally let's
6:21
sprinkle in a tablespoon of freshly
6:25
grated Parmesan now go ahead and put
6:29
this chicken in the oven until the
6:32
cheese melts and is golden brown so
6:34
after about five minutes once the cheese
6:37
has melted turn on the broiler that's
6:40
when you're gonna help get the cheese
6:41
nice and bubbly and cold
6:43
wrong if y'all ready strong enough then
6:46
you might not need to do this stuff but
6:48
for my oven I need to do this guys look
6:51
at that that looks absolutely delicious
6:53
who would have thought this was baked
6:55
this has been no oil used to create this
6:59
monstrosity I can't wait to dig into
7:03
this it was two minutes in the broiler
7:05
and it was perfect golden brown oh now I
7:13
could eat it plain just like this if I
7:16
wanted to but let's top it off with some
7:30
now put the icing on the cake
7:37
I would get a corner piece that daddy
7:50
look that creaminess and sour cream as I
7:52
said it's delicious and I'm so happy
7:54
