I recently found a recipe for chicken parmesanthat I tried out and enjoyed. I made a few changes to the original recipe to share with you. So, gather your roommates in your MSU student apartment and try it out. Trust me when I say it’s a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • A couple tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 1 28oz can of diced tomatoes
  • Chopped basil leaves (as desired)
  • Parmesan cheese (as desired)
  • A few slices of mozzarella

Lightly pour  extra virgin olive oil over the chicken breasts. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and any other seasoning as desired. Cook the chicken on an indoor grill pan or George Foreman grill until completely cooked.

While the chicken is cooking you can start the sauce. Put a medium sized pot over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the tomatoes and begin stirring slowly. Add garlic and basil as desired and continue stirring for 10 minutes.

Preheat your broiler to high.

Layer the chicken and the tomato sauce in a small casserole dish. Place the sliced mozzarella on top of the chicken followed by some parmesan cheese. Leave the dish under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the parmesan and mozzarella is browned.

And you’re done! Gather your buds around your East Lansing Student Apartment and enjoy dinner together; family style!

» MSU Student Favorite – Breakfast Nachos

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

"Behold, the Breakfast Nacho!"

 

OK, so you might be disgusted by the title but breakfast nachos are actually really good! Making breakfast nachos is actually a tradion for all of my MSU friends now. This is how the tradition started. I got the idea from Flats restaurant in East Lansing (It is such a shame that they are closed now.)  The recipe calls for scrambled eggs instead of hamburger meat, making it a “Breakfast” nacho. You can enjoy this Mexican cuisine any time of day! (My friends and I make them as our fourth meal… lol) 

Here’s the step by step instructions:

  1. Get scramblin’! Scramble your eggs and use the spatula to break the egg up into smaller chunks so they fit better on the chips. 
  2. Organize your chips on a plate.
  3. Pour the eggs onto the chips and add your favorite toppings! (I like to use salsa)

TIPS: -I use Egg Beaters or an egg white substitute since they are fat free and cholesterol free, but of course you can use regular eggs. The Tostitos Baked Lays also make a healthier option instead of traditional tortilla chips and their shape is convenient. You can make this recipe as healthy or as enjoyable as you wish! Eggs cook much faster than hamburger so this is a nice, easy and quick meal!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
