I decided to try and make chicken parmigiana ( made with breast meat-- so yes this is a relevent discussion) so I went to the farmers market and bought a chicken. Then I went to the grocery store and tried to find a box of parmigiana---no luck.
Went back home and attempted to get the feathers off of the chicken.--again no luck.
My question is this: 1, where are the boxes of parmigiana or does it come in a jar.
2,how do I get the feathers off of the chicken 'cause all it wants to do is bite me.
Hugs and love

    I'm culinary disabled. I would say name the chicken and buy the frozen precut deboned chicken in a package. Maybe the chicken will lay an egg for you instead. Isn't that where eggs come from? Well, hey. I've been getting them out of that egg carton for years.

    I don't eat meat that looks like it's been alive. I need the flat pieces that don't talk back. Did you ever see that Three Stooges episode where a cat climbed into a whole turkey and everytime they went to cut the turkey the cat would yowl?

    Can't find it in a box.
    Bill,
    To the best of my knowledge you can't find the parmigiana in a box. I looked in all of my cookbooks and couldn't find a recipe-but then I thought,go online! There's the food network website where you can get recipes or just type in chicken parmigiana. And I would nix using the live chicken too,just buy some from the grocery store!
    Something that I do that my husband and I love and it's easy is to buy some boneless skinless chicken breasts and pour some prego sauce over them,really cover them well.Stick them in the oven at 375 for about 35 minutes or until they are white cooked through. When you have about 3 or 5 minutes left on the timer stick a piece of provolone cheese on the top of each piece and let it melt. So good! And if you want,cook some spaghetti noodles on the side and heat up extra sauce!

    spaghetti
    In the oven, next to the poor boneless chicken- right? With prego sauce--- and how exactly does the sauce get pregnant???????

    I thought it was bad enough to have to get rid of the feathers- now you want me to take it's skin off and break all of it's bones.

    What is the name of that nice italian resturant down the block?

    eggs
    If I leave the feathers on and it lays eggs I could make EGG Parmigiana------- if I can ever figure out where to buy the Parmigiana box or bottle or jar.
    Do I need to go to an Italian grocery store?

    What would Julia Child say??????
    Of course there is a box of parmigiana~ it is right next to the boxes of dehydrated water, and across the aisle from the de-oxygenated air. If you are shopping in a mega-store, they are right behind the display of genuine, imitation naugahyde. If you can't find the exact location: Take a jump to the left, then a step to the right...oh wait; thats the time warp theme, sorry!!!

    One last hint!!!! Never buy toadstools! Even the organic ones. They may be poisonous...one never knows what the toad may have eaten!!!


    Happy culinary delights!!!

    Thank all of you -- now this is the serious part
    I actually, really did make a GREAT chicken parm last weekend. I went on the internet and looked for stuff to make with boneless/skinless chicken breasts.
    Learned to cut off the extra fat, soak them in salt/sugar water for an hour in frig., Use a thermometer to figure out when they are done.
    Mrs pregnant Prego makes some good sauces.

    One thing I didn't understand though--- dredge them through flour/salt&pepper , dip into egg wash , dredge through bread crumbs and brown slightly in a frying pan with EVOO before
    puting into the baking dish,covering with sauce & cheese. Sounds like a lot of extra work just to bake them in the oven and it did make a MESS in my kitchen.

    Next time I'll skip the flour/eggs/breadcrumbs/browning part and see I complain about how great it tastes.

    Cooking is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting........I'd better just stick with TV dinners.

    No offense, but, don't you think sometimes you might be a little ummmmm crude? I guess I think you might be a little. Are you married? I am surprised if you are that your wife would let you write some of this stuff..if she sees it. And, once again..no offense.

    So sorry. My entire vocabulary in this particular language consists solely of: LOL and OMG. (Unless TGIF counts, too, that is.) I have absolutely no idea what LMAO means; and, have been staring at it & attempting to "sound it out" for several minutes now. I give up. (Damn the chemo brain!) Re: your EWWW... I'm just hoping he was simply posing topless. Which is, to me, kinda odd - because I don't think the women would do that. Honestly, I don't know what the heck YOU are thinking about, even if you don't want to. :-)

    Kind regards, Susan

    P.S. to Bill: No offense meant here.

    Crude?
    Perhaps a little. It is not my desire to offend anyone so I chose the word "urinate" (it's a medical term) instead of some other word.
    Married? NO but if I was she wouldn't be standing over my shoulder looking at what I was saying---- she would be sitting in my lap, helping me.
    Or were you thinking of applying for the position of wife ???

    Did ya ever think that after all of the bills are paid there is no money left for clothes?
    OR- I could be a nudist - OR I might be wearing a tube top.
    My current photo is actually pre-chemo. I hope to update it soon but it is very difficult to take pictures of myself- especially because I want to include my cat in the next picture.
    FYI - I mowed the lawn several days ago -----TOPLESS
