Sometimes you just have to have some comfort food. Homemade o-rings and chicken/ cheese poppers.

Made some chicken parm over the weekend.
It used up the last mozzarella and the last jarred sauce in the house. Worth it.

Oooohhh!
That looks very good!
Thanks. It is/was, but I’m open to any and all suggestions to keep the breading crunchy while getting the cheesy properly gooey, because it seems like an either/or situation.
I make the breaded cutlets, then put them in the tray with sauce, lay the cheese on, 'nother dollop of sauce, then in the oven for a while. Guess a broiler might be better?
Your guess is likely better than mine, because breading has been my arch rival, but I think the broiler sounds good. Maybe one rack setting down so it isn’t too intense, lots of direct heat to melt the cheese and heat the sauce as a finisher.

You’re cooking with the foil on? Try uncovering them. With it on, you’re basically steaming them.

Dieting and hating chicken breast?
I feel ya.
For real though, I tried making this “sauce” to add to my meal.
You can add moisture and flavor to the meat with little to no added calories.
Ingredients:
Bell peppers
A couple of pieces of diced tomato
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Parsley
A sprinkle of parmesan cheese
Stock
I put frozen bell peppers in pieces together with a few pieces of tomatoes in a pan, cooked with stock, and added the herbs. When they were nice and soft, I put them in a blender and added a little bit of cheese.
You can make this a lot yummier adding some fats, but I still need to stay lower with the calories for a week. This added maybe 100 calories to the meal, but made chicken breast way more tolerable. And I was gonna have a serving of veggies either way.
Next time I’ll try adding a little less liquid to make it thicker. I think it’ll come out better.
