18 minute Parmesan Chicken!

 Can you believe how good this looks?  It is not fried or baked and it doesn't take an hour to cook!  This is one of my all time favorite chicken recipes.  When I was a young mom and just starting to raise my family, I would cut out recipes from the daily newspaper that looked interesting.  Chicken was inexpensive and so made a good meal on a budget.  This recipe came out just when I got my first microwave (that really dates me huh?, but I am still very young at heart!).   It came with regular oven instructions but I worked with it until I could make it even better and much faster in the microwave.  It is DELICIOUS!  I hope it helps you to pull this out on a busy night when you need a fast but filling home cooked meal!  (See my next post  for part 2 of What Do Your Kids Really Want for Dinner?)  This recipe can help you with that!!

18 Minute Parmesan Chicken

1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese (bottled, powdered kind)
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
2 1/2 lbs. Chicken pieces (I use 4 legs and 4 thighs)
1 egg slightly beaten
1 Tablespoon milk
2 Tablespoons to 4 Tablespoons margarine or butter (melted)

In a medium bowl, mix first 5 ingredients together.

I use a flat bottomed bowl so it is easier to roll the chicken pieces in the coating.  In a second medium bowl, mix the egg and milk and using a wisk or a fork beat until it is well combined.

Dip chicken first into the egg mixture and then roll in the flour mixture.

Set chicken pieces in a glass or other microwave safe baking dish. 

My oven will fit a 13 x 9 pan so this is what I usually use.  This is a smaller version in the picture.  When the chicken is coated, drizzle the melted butter over it until all pieces have a small amount on them.  Cover the pan with wax paper and microwave for about 18 minutes on high.

 ***This time will vary greatly with the amount of chicken baked.  If pieces are overly large, increase the time.  If you cut down to say, 4 small pieces, cut the time down to 13 minutes and cut a piece open to check for clear juice in the center of the piece.  Cook longer if needed and check often!  This recipe was used with 8 medium pieces of chicken and a turntable microwave with 1250 watts.
