hey guys welcome to a brand new video on
0:02
cooking with another baby we making our
0:06
chicken parm inspired quesadillas so
0:08
let's get started right now so first of
0:15
all check the link up here to see how to
0:18
make my delicious homemade marinara
0:20
sauce you're gonna need about a quarter
0:23
of that recipe go ahead and pre-heat
0:25
your oven at 450 and now let's start
0:28
working on our chicken so here I have a
0:29
simple breading station so we have our
0:32
flour one egg which I've whisked and
0:35
some panko bread crumbs today I'm using
0:38
whole-wheat pan so I'm gonna season the
0:40
bread crumbs with salt pepper and some
0:47
dried Italian seasoning I'm just gonna
0:50
give this a quick mix so here I have one
0:53
chicken breast which I put in a ziplock
0:55
bag and you're gonna pound that out
0:57
until it's about a quarter of an inch
1:00
thick there you have it guys
1:01
it's nice and thin what's just gonna
1:04
help with is to cook the chicken really
1:06
quickly in the oven so take your piece
1:09
of chicken and dip it into your flour
1:11
and cover it on each side and shake off
1:15
any excess flour next go on to the egg
1:19
there's nothing fancy here is the same
1:22
old technique of how to break chicken so
1:24
after the eggs again drip off any excess
1:28
because we don't want any clumps in our
1:30
breadcrumbs then go to your breadcrumbs
1:33
and put some more breadcrumbs on top and
1:36
make sure it's all covered and what you
1:39
want to do at the end after it's all
1:41
covered is really press on your chicken
1:43
to really make sure that those
1:45
breadcrumbs are part of and that they
1:48
won't just flake off and you start
1:49
cooking with it if you are going to be
1:50
thinking wow that's a big piece of
1:52
chicken maybe I should have cut that in
1:54
half before I started reading it but
1:56
it's okay after it's all cooked I'm
1:59
gonna cut it in half and I'm gonna use
2:01
that for my two quesadillas but today
2:03
for those tenders there I love chicken
2:06
tenders I have chicken in every way that
2:08
I can so cook your chicken for about 10
2:10
to 12 minutes and after that we'll put
2:13
droppings on the chicken so you may have
2:15
noticed that I'm using a wire rack to
2:17
cook my chicken on that's because I
2:19
don't want that crust to get all soggy
2:23
well my chicken is resting or when it's
2:26
cooking I want it all to be crispy all
2:29
the way through that's a good tip to
2:30
have a new basket whenever you need it
2:32
so now I'm gonna add some marinara sauce
2:36
on top of this chicken please make sure
2:41
to spread that out same with the other
2:46
guys this looks amazing I could eat this
2:50
right now if I could but just give it a
2:53
few more minutes in the oven that's
2:56
so next I'm gonna top it with some light
2:59
sour cream be going a little healthier
3:02
out here just enough to introduce a bit
3:07
of sarna's into a cheesy mixture a topit
3:13
of mozzarella cheese and finally top
3:19
with some Parmesan cheese now pop this
3:23
back in the oven until the cheese is
3:25
nice and golden brown some basil leaves
3:27
that have stacked on top of each other
3:30
with the largest one being at the bottom
3:32
and so on you want to do maybe like 7 or
3:37
8 leaves at a time and then lightly wrap
3:42
it up you want to be gentle but you want
3:45
to make a tight roll now prehab this
3:48
roll on a really sharp knife and you all
3:52
just put a lot of light pressure on it
3:58
just let the knife do the work you'll
4:01
get some beautiful ship not basil have a
4:07
pan heating on medium heat here I'm
4:10
gonna start heating up my homemade
4:12
tortilla just to make it a little warm
4:16
I'm gonna add its most the reserved
4:19
sauce and to one half of the cake so and
4:24
just warm up the tortilla that's all you
4:26
want to do right onto this kay so I'm
4:28
gonna add in my chicken Oh
4:30
some of our freshly chopped basil
4:33
meanwhile our tortillas are getting warm
4:38
