CHICKEN CUTLETS/ITALIAN STYLE _____________________________ One 5-pound box of chicken breasts. (Food stores have these 5-pound boxes of chicken on sale occasionally for $5.-$6.) Use a sharp knife to remove chicken from bones. (It's best to do this when the chicken isn't completely defrosted.) Remove skins. Beat together 1/4 cup milk and 1 egg. Dip boned chicken in milk/egg mixture - then cover with Italian bread crumbs. Fry in vegetable oil until brown (does not have to be cooked through). After frying place on paper towels to drain off excess oil. In a casserole dish place - 1) a layer of your favorite Italian sauce 2) a layer of chicken 3) a layer of mozzarella cheese Repeat 1) 2) 3) above. Cover casserole disk and place in oven at 350o for 45 minutes. This dish is really good with a salad, Italian bread and bottle of your favorite red wine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bones and skins make an exellent soup - Add the bones/skins to 2 quarts of water (bring to a boil). Add: 3/4 cup diced celery 1 large onion (diced) 1 cup diced carrots (optional) 2 pinches parsley flakes season to taste Bring to a boil again and simmer for 1 hour. Add a mixture of flour/water to thicken. Simmer for another hour. Remove bones/skins. When the bones are cool remove whatever meat is left on the bones and add to the soup. (Your dog will enjoy eating the skins.)
