Mrs Shelley's Unique Information!

Hhhiiiyyyaaa!!! A pub classic is a chicken parmi and Mrs Shelley has decided to make it at home. Whenever I go out for a parmi, it is absolutely massive and I cannot finish it off. I buy chicken breasts and slice them in half across so that I have a thinner chicken breast and then I can eat it all. I love a parmi.

When you are coating the chicken in the crumbs, you can add any herbs or spice that you think would go in to the crumb mixture. For this one, I left it plain. You can even whizz up some bread if you have it left over instead of using panko breadcrumbs.

With the passata I bought Mutti but , you can purchase your favourite passata. We all know what we like. What is the point in me telling you to buy a certain brand. We are all individual and that is the way I like it.

I absolutely preferred my parmi over going out because my chicken was fresh and a lot of the time I find it is dry along with a dry crumb. I have stopped eating it out now because I have never had one where I have thought that is nice and fresh.

I hope you enjoy.

Love Simply Mrs Shelley.
