Chicken Parmesan Microwave Miracle

Trial and Error

As I'm making most of these recipes on the fly, adapting either oven or slow cooker recipes for the microwave. There is a lot of trial and error. This meal came out very nice, but there are changes that I would definitely make from how I did it. I don't know why I thought that oil might make things crispier, instead of swimming and soaking like they did. Live and learn.

This was still very good fast Chicken Parm. Though I will be perfecting this recipe in the future.

Beat Eggs & Water in Pie Pan.

Dip Chicken in eggs to coat, then in breading to coat.

In the picture you can see the chicken swimming in the oil, don't add oil. I might also try to find some slotted silicone tray to put in the Dish so it will stay out of its own juices too.

Put Lid on and Microwave on High for 10 Minutes.

Top with Pasta Sauce & Mozzarella.

Okay, I ran out of Mozzarella and used Parmesan But trust me use the mozzarella!

Make sure internal temp of chicken gets up to 165F. 

Serve in Dish.

Enjoy!
