Have you ever noticed how restaurant chefs make their chicken taste so great? Well, this is partly due to the fact that they have some fantastic chicken parmesan recipes, but it is mostly due to the fact that they know how to prepare chicken. You see, in order to create any great dish using this meat you must first make sure that the meat is moist. Creating moist chicken is a snap if you know one key term: brining.
Prior to making any dish, take the chicken that you intend to use and submerge it in a bath of salt water. The trick is not to over salt the water, which will cause a very intense flavor. Simply add enough salt to create a nice brine, and then place the chicken in the dish for three hours. Once this has been done, you are ready to move on to the next secret behind this fantastic dish. When you take your chicken out of the brine, grab a very sharp knife and a cutting board.
Slice the chicken into extremely thin strips (be very careful) beginning with the top of the meat. You should be able to get about seven pieces from one breast. Then, pound each piece of meat until it is nice and tender. Once this has been done, add one cup of bread crumbs to a dish; two beaten egg yolks to another dish; and place a bit of olive oil in a skillet. Dip the chicken in the yolks, then the crumbs, then back in the yolks until all pieces are coated. Then, fry each piece in the skillet until golden brown. To finish off this chicken parmesan recipe, place all piece in an oven proof dish, cover with the sauce of your choice, and top with parmesan cheese.
Bake the dish at 350 degrees for thirty minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Serve this meal with some pasta and warm bread. You will soon discover that brining your meat prior to using it makes all the difference in the world.
