Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Cheesecake Factory's Romano Chicken

INGREDIENTS
2 Chicken Breasts
1/2 C. Flour
2 Tbsp. Romano Cheese - You can use Kraft in a jar
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Egg beaten
2 tsp. Water
DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the egg and the water.
Pound out chicken breasts to, at most, 1/2 inch thick. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and coat the chicken lightly. Then dip in egg, and cover with shredded Romano.
Place in frying pan on medium high, with a little bit of oil. Cook until golden brown. Top with either marinara or Alfredo sauce.

VERDICT
We topped it with alfredo- yum! This was a delicious recipe. Not too many ingredients (but a lot of plates to clean up from the preparation. Definitely a keeper!
NUTRITION
I assume this is not a healthy recipe when you get it at Cheesecake Factory. But making this at home it's not too bad.
