Chicken Parmigiana

This is one of Darren's favourite, he usually orders a parmy when he goes out for a meal. This one is tangy and tasty, I used shop bought chicken schnitzels as I had them in the freezer and decided to use them with this sauce but I will make my own next time 😜

1 onion, finely chopped

100 g mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 Tsp onion powder

1/4 Tsp garlic powder

1/4 Tsp dried oregano

1 1/2 Tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 Tsp salt

2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

4 thick slices mozzarella

40 g grated Parmesan

4 chicken schnitzels

3. Stir in passata sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, worcester sauce, oregano and basil. Bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes.

4. Preheat grill on med/high. Place cooked chicken schnitzels in a deep baking dish, spoon sauce over chicken. Top each schnitzel with a slice of mozzerella and sprinkle over the parmesan. Grill for a few minutes until cheese has melted and is golden and bubbly.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
