Parmesan and Breadcrumb Covered Baked Chicken Breasts

Tonight for dinner, I experimented with a recipe that my boyfriend has used a couple of times. Last week, he asked me to help him find a pork recipe and it was then that I stumbled upon this parmesan baked pork chops recipe. Not only did this recipe look delicious, it also looked really easy to make. R has made it twice and has told me that he really liked it. With that in mind, I felt that it was time for me to give it a try.

I didn't have any pork in my fridge, so I decided to substitute chicken breast. I mean, how different could it be --- right? Following the original recipe, I made the changes of using chicken, as well as other seasoning. 

Not only was this dish super easy to prepare, it was very easy to make and tasted stunning! I loved every mouthful. The crunchiness of the crust, the succulent meat, and the balance of seasonings really made this dish a winner. I would definitely recommend this as an easy weeknight dinner or something to enjoy on the weekends. I know I will be adding this to my repertoire of dishes! And next time, I will definitely try making this with pork. 

Ingredients:
- 1 package chicken thighs
- parmesan cheese
- breadcrumbs/panko 
- salt
- pepper
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- herbes de provence
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Set up your chicken and dipping stations. The reason why I didn't give specific measurements for the amount of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese is because I think you need to guesstimate it. You want enough that you can coat your chicken, but not too much where you waste cheese and breadcrumbs.
3. Before coating, season your chicken with salt, pepper, herbes de provence, garlic powder, and onion powder. (Obviously, you can use whatever else you want). Season well. 
4. Once your chicken is seasoned, coat with parmesan and breadcrumbs. Do parmesan cheese first, then move to breadcrumbs. Be sure to coat thoroughly. 
5. Line a baking dish with cooking spray. Lay chicken out on dish. 
6. Let chicken cook for about 20-30 minutes. You want the chicken to be totally cooked and you want to get some brown on it too!
7. Once your chicken is done, serve with whatever you would like. I had mine with quinoa and buttered string beans. Yum!

Gordon Ramsay's Cheesy Potato Dauphinoise

I am fairly impressionable --- at least when it comes to cooking. When I see a recipe or a dish that intrigues me, I become obsessed and determine to give it a go. I have been obsessively watching Come Dine With Me  for at least one month and a dish that keeps popping up is: Potato Dauphionoise. I've eaten this side dish a couple times in my life, but not recently. It looked so delicious and easy to make, and I was determined to try my hand at this posh looking side. As per usual, I consulted the internet to look for recipes. As most of you know, I am obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. He is always my go to. If he doesn't have a recipe for something I want to make, I'm always feel a little lost, but luckily, that wasn't the case this time. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Gordon Ramsay's "Gratin Dauphonoise." He has yet to let me down and you know what, this dish was a winner! Something that I am adding to my repertoire.  This dish was incredibly e

Truffle Cream Cheese & Chive Spread

Image
So, I realize that this post is rather late…but I figure, better late than never, right? Over New Years, I was searching for recipes online, when I stumbled upon a new Gordon Ramsay recipe. As we all know, I LOVE Gordon Ramsay, in fact, I should probably just change my username to that.  Chef Ramsay has a recipe for a deliciously decadent, but oh so easy truffle cream cheese spread, and I couldn't resist. The ingredients are simple, you may even have most of them, and it takes no more than ten minutes to make. Oh, and it's delicious.  Whether you are entertaining guests or spending time alone, this spread is perfect for all occasions. It's great with bread and crackers, it's also delicious with grapes. The fluffiness of the cream cheese/sour cream, coupled with the decadence and amazing aroma of the truffle oil makes this a really luxurious spread that everyone will love!

Tawaraya - One of Kyoto's Most Famous and Oldest Ryokans

Image
On this visit to Kyoto, rather than stay at a hotel, my parents and I were fortunate enough two spend two nights at the very famous and exclusive Tawaraya ryokan . Tawaraya is considered one of the most famous and posh ryokans in Japan. Past guests have included Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, and even Marlon Brando! (Many famous Japanese people have stayed here as well, but these three just popped into my head). We made our reservation one year in advance, but even then, we had difficulty getting a room!  To quote Wikipedia: "A ryokan ( 旅館 ) is a type of traditional Japanese inn that originated in the Edo Period (1603 ~ 1868), when such inns served travelers along Japan's highways. They typically feature tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, and other public areas where visitors may wear yukata and talk with the owner…Most ryokans offer dinner and breakfast, which are often included in the price of the room. Most visitors take their meals at the ryokan, which usuall
