Break Your Resolutions the Right Way With Kenji's Chicken Parmesan

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here The Best Chicken Parmesan Even at its worst, classic Italian-American chicken parmesan is pretty darn good. So how do you go about perfecting it? Our recipe has a buttermilk-based brine for maximum juiciness and tenderness. Tons of Parmesan cheese in our breading—along with a small drizzle of buttermilk—improves its flavor and texture. Our sauce is a slow-cooked, rich red sauce, and a mixture of fresh mozzarella and real Parmigiano-Reggiano top it off.

Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Pressure Cooker Butternut Squash Risotto With Frizzled Sage With the help of a pressure cooker, risotto becomes an insanely easy and hands-off dish. Here, it's loaded with layer upon layer of cold weather flavors: butternut squash, sage, brown butter, and just a hint of apple and maple syrup to round it out.   TUESDAY Caldo Verde (Portuguese Potato and Kale Soup With Sausage) Caldo verde is perfect for lazy winter nights. It's made with a few cheap and simple ingredients, it takes all of maybe 10 minutes of prep work, and it's ready to eat just half an hour later. Oh, and it's all made in a single pot, too. WEDNESDAY Scrambled Eggs With Sumac, Pine Nuts, and Parsley Crunchy toasted pine nuts and lemony sumac are great partners for eggs scrambled softly in extra-virgin olive oil. Teamed with whole wheat toast and store-bought merguez sausages, you have a quick brinner on your hands. THURSDAY Shrimp Scampi With Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes, and Herbs To get the most flavor in this shrimp scampi, we use vermouth instead of white wine and a mix of fragrant herbs—parsley, tarragon, and chives—instead of just parsley. It's a quick, easy, one-pot Italian-American classic with just enough extra flavor and flair to make it special. FRIDAY Quick and Easy Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi Potato gnocchi take a long time and are far from foolproof. Enter an easier option: Kenji's 30-minute ricotta version. It's much more failsafe and just special enough for a Friday night dinner. Perhaps alongside a big glass of red wine?     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us help you guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Classic Baked Lasagna Bolognese (Lasagne alla Bolognese) Nothing says "winter warmer" like a big pan of homemade lasagna. Our recipe calls for homemade ragu bolognese, which boasts a hefty three-hour cook time. It's perfect for a lazy Saturday when you have time to let it simmer.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
