Chicken Morsels in Parmesan Crust

Ingredients:

Makes 20-25 pieces of chicken chunks

400 gr chicken breast

100 gr Parmesan cheese

75 gr bread crumbs

2 eggs, beaten

salt and pepper to taste

Cannonata, Paté di Asparagi, Paté di Aglio, Paté di Pomodori Secchi to use as dip.

For the Parmesan Crust:

use 20 gr of Parmesan for every crust

Procedure:

Start preparing the bread crumbs from some stale bread in a food processor. Set aside.

Cut the chicken breast into 4 cm length pieces. Each should weigh about 20 grams. Set aside.

Arrange the following ingredients for the breading: beaten eggs with a pinch each of salt and pepper; bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Pass each chicken piece into the egg mixture; then roll in Parmesan; pass into the egg mixture again; then finally, roll into the breadcrumbs. Set the pieces on an oven tray with an oiled grease-proof paper on it.

Bake them in the oven for 20 min at C200, turning them upside down after 10 minutes.

NOTE: If you like, you can fry the morsels instead of baking them in some oil until golden.

While the morsels are cooking, you’re ready to make the Parmesan crust. Get a sheet of baking paper and cut out a circle with a diameter of about 20 cm. Sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese.

Put this on a ceramic plate and cook in the microwave at full power for about fifteen seconds or until the Parmesan sizzles and turns golden. Now push with the help of a spoon the paper into a small bowl to give it a cup shape. Let it set in the refrigerator for about two minutes.
