Restaurant Kid Recipes

Restaurant Kid Recipes I grew up in my parents' Italian restaurant so welcome to restaurant kid recipes where I teach you how to get restaurant style food right at home on tonight's menu we're having pink vodka chicken parm the key to a good chicken parm is really all in the cutlet thinly slice your chicken breast pound it and season with salt and pepper for dredging station you're gonna need flour flour eggs and bread crumbs there's gonna be a section of the internet that tells you you don't need flour don't listen to them season each with salt and pepper you can use store bought bread crumbs but I do have my own recipe on my substack if you're interested remember this order flour egg breadcrumbs fryyy to make the sauce you're gonna add butter olive oil and shallots once fragrant you can add garlic and red pepper flakes after about a minute add your tomato paste and let it darken in color for a few minutes add your vodka and let it simmer cooking off the alcohol for a couple minutes if you like a more tomato forward pink vodka sauce you can add tomato passata or crushed tomatoes let that simmer on low before adding your heavy cream as much cream as you like finish with Parmesan pecorino and fresh basil I typically use my family's homemade pasta but I'm using box cause it's what I had on hand for family style dinner I find it's easiest just to do it in a casserole dish a thin layer of sauce the cutlets fresh mozzarella broil it for just a couple of minutes and finish with parsley or basil and then more grated cheese eat it over your pasta of choice and enjoy family style the full recipe is on my substack let me know if you want fresh pasta and breadcrumb tutorials as well
