Here's a great recipe that I discovered somewhat accidentally.

Parmesean-Crusted Chicken Breasts

Take a couple of boneless skinless chicken breasts, and pound to a uniform thickness (use either heavy-duty ziplock bags, or waxed paper and a heavy mallett or glass)

Whisk an egg or two, with some salt and pepper, put in a pie tin (or other low, flat pan)

Take fresh shredded parmesean chese (or grated, just not in a can) and add some italian seasoning and put in another low, flat pan.

Pannini Maker or George Foreman grill, brushed with olive oil (a frying pan if you must, but then you have to turn them.

Take the chiken breasts, dip in the egg mixture with one hand, then into the parmesean cheese with the other hand. Then, go directly onto the hot pannini grill, close the lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes (it doesn't take much time at all, since you pounded them into a uniform thickness)

My husband loves fried chicken, but between the oil and the bread crumbs (he's diabetic) this recipe makes a great alternative. You can either eat them directly, cut them in pieces to put on a salad, or top them with marinara sauce for Chicken Parmesean.

Enjoy!!

Thanks for those recipes! I must add that lentil soup recipe I found last week...although that "bean glop" on this thread will probably become another favorite of mine!

Not exactly a recipe (and I'm pretty sure that I don't use any which don't contain, "add the cheeese and beaten eggs"), but worthwhile anyway.

Get a filter jug to supply your drinking water, and keep it clean and refrigerated. And if you like ice during the summer, use the filtered water to make your cubes.

I suggest any number of delicious low fat low cost Greek recipes. My favorite is the simplest - the ubiquitous summer Greek "horiatiki (village style)" salad:

fresh tomatoes, diced
sweet onion --cut in thin rings,
Cucumber, diced
green pepper diced
oregano, olive oil (xtra virgin tastes better on cold salads), a touch of good wine vinegar, salt and fresh pepper--all shaken together and poured over the salad

Sprinkle on top some good feta cheese(preferably goat or sheep's milk) Tyr some fresh olives too---kalamata or the little black ones are used in Greece, but you can use whatever you like...pits removed.

Of course let the salad sit for awhile and then you can mop up the juices with a crusty slice of day old (or any kind) of bread.

Kali orexi!

Yum!

I made a horiatiki today for dinner ...along with some french fried (oven baked)potatoes. No complaints here. Of course they got to eat strawberry shortcake for dessert :>)

My 84 year old Dad just returned from a 3 week trip to Alaska with plenty of frozen hallibut and Salmon that he'd caught.

What are some great recipes for such? Especially with marionade, onions, flavor etc?

Thanks all
