SUPERBOWL SECRET WEAPONS

 Those that know me, know I tinker in the kitchen.

WARNING: I take no responsibility if you pay more attention to the food than the game.

Chicken Parm Bites

 Ingredients

  • 2 c. panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 c. grated Parmesan
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 c. marinara
  • 1/4 lb. mozzarella, cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. Prepare breading station with 3 large bowls: In one bowl, whisk together breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and Parmesan; in another bowl egg; and in the last bowl flour.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each piece of chicken in flour and shake off excess, then dip into egg, and lastly, coat in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat steps for remaining chicken and set aside on a plate.
  3. In a deep cast-iron skillet, warm 1" oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Arrange chicken in a baking dish in a single layer. Add a small spoonful of marinara over chicken and top with a cube of mozzarella.
  5. Bake until chicken is warmed through and cheese is melty, 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish with basil and serve immediately.

Go balls to the wall for these buff chick meatballs.

  • 1/3 c. panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c. sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
