ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the panko, Italian seasoning, 1/3 cup Parmesan and a pinch of salt. In one more shallow dish, beat the eggs.
• Set a shallow cooling rack in a baking sheet. Take each cube of chicken and lightly dredge it in the flour. Dip it in the egg wash, then roll it in the panko. Continue until all of the chicken cubes are coated in panko. Arrange on the cooling rack set in the baking sheet and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve these baked nuggets with a side of steamed broccoli and a little bit of ketchup for dipping! Your kids will freak out.
• Now for your mature palate: Proceed with the pounded chicken, in the same fashion as the nuggets. First the flour, then the egg, then a good coating of the panko. Arrange the chicken on the rack on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown on both sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a pot of salted water until it is al dente and drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Transfer the pasta back to the pot. Add the butter, parsley, juice from half the lemon, the reserved pasta water and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and give it all a good toss.
• To dress it up a tad more, slice the remaining half lemon, then sear a few lemon slices in a small saute pan-so fancy.
• Serve the baked chicken over the pasta and serve with extra Parmesan!

CHICKEN KABOBS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
• Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
• Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
• Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
• Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.

• Lay out 3 chicken strips, about 1/2-inch apart. Place a scallion crosswise over the center of the chicken pieces. Then wrap chicken over scallion 1 by 1, securing with a toothpick. Repeat process until you have used 1 pound of chicken.
• Season and grill the remaining 1 pound chicken breasts for another meal later in the week.
• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Reserve half a cup of the marinade to use as a dipping sauce. Brush the remaining marinade all over the chicken-scallion skewers.
• Grill kebabs 5 to 7 minutes turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.
• Garnish the reserved dipping sauce with sesame seeds and serve alongside skewers.
