Italian Comfort - Chicken Parmigiana

Hola familia!! Miss me much?? I have been M.I.A lately because I have been working on some new things for the granola bars and Latin spices; so I took a mini break from blogging to get everything organized and running smoothly again. Now, I am back and I have a simple, delicious Chicken Parmigiana recipe for you all! Originally, I had planned to make Chow Mein to get rid of some chicken breast; but my friend and lovely ex-coworker posted a picture of Chicken Parmesan and I instantly kicked Chow Mein to the curb and decided to make Chicken Parmigiana. Also, this gave me the opportunity to try out the black garlic Bazaar Spices gave me on my last visit to their new shop at Union Market in D.C. Now don’t get me wrong, I was skeptical to use the black garlic at first because it looks like it needs to be thrown out; but what kind of cook would I be if I wasn’t a little daring :D. Now, I am so glad I tried it. The black garlic added a sweet but savory richness to the dish; and it does not come with that pungent odor raw garlic loves to emit. Also, rumor is that black garlic packs twice as much antioxidant than raw garlic; therefore, in all reality, black garlic elects this dish as healthy because it counteracts the starchy noodles and pan-fried chicken…not really but sounds pretty good to me. So, go ahead and try it…don’t be shy. I’m sure you will thank me later. Enjoy! Click here to read more on Miss Vic's blog.
