New email from a reader:
"Dear Chef Mike,
My wife wants me to cook for her. I have No clue. I want to do something simple. So I want to make Chicken Parmesan.
Can you please give me a recipe for it? And any advice or tips to make me seem like I know how to cook. We have only been married 4 months, and I dont want to pop her bubble and show her I cant do something she asks. I'm Italian... I should know how to cook.
Thanks,
[Name withheld to keep wife from busting his chops]"
So, we will start out with cleaning the chicken breast. I am going to do the entire post on this, and another on the Chicken Parm, which will include a video.
