Clean and slice the chicken in half lengthwise (4 filets). Optional: Use a meat pounder to tenderize the each chicken to an even â…“” thick. 

Mix flour, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper in a shallow.

Then whisk the eggs in a separate dish.

Soak the chicken breast in the eggs and then coat them with the parmesan mixture on both sides (gently shake off excess) and transfer to a plate. Repeat steps with remaining chicken.

Heat the skillet or non-stick pan to medium heat. Add olive oil and wait for 30-45 seconds or until hot. Fry the breaded chicken 3-4 minutes per-side or until crispy and golden.

Reduce the heat if they are growing too fast (monitor for even cooking per side). Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in 2 batches. Return all chicken to the skillet/pan. Turn down the heat to low.

In a separate pan; add all the sauce ingredients together and whisk. Turn up the heat to medium and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

        Greek Salad with Yogurt Dressing

        Crunchy and refreshing greek salad is one of my personal favorites. Every time I would frequent my favorite Greek restaurant, I would savor the salad and wanted to learn to make it at home. I developed this recipe over the years and believe it is very close to the salads that inspired the attempt. Fresh ingredients and a good feta cheese make a big difference in the quality of the dish. Slightly zesty, with a slightly salty bite every once in a while, as the cucumbers compete with the spring mix and roasted peppers for texture changes while building a gorgeous flavor profile. The yogurt is the result of many attempts, I love how the zest from the lemon juice partners with the feta cheese, herbs and yogurt to form a creamy lightly tart taste that takes this salad to an experience worthy for any occasion as a side or a featured item.

        I first posted this salad as a dish partner in a previous video. I received several request to provide the recipe. I appreciate the interest and am happy to provide the video and the instructions below so you can make this tasty salad in your home today. Please let me know if you try it send pictures. If you enjoyed this video please like and share to help spread the word of an eatfoodlicious growing catalogue of recipes.

          Instant Pot Feta Pasta

          Creamy, saucy, slightly spicy with the perfect finish of fresh basil herbal notes is what you will have when following this Feta Pasta recipe using the Instant Pot. Like most of you I have seen the oven baked and other forms of Feta Pasta on different food channels. I was going through my kitchen and noticed I had half a block of my favorite Greek Feta cheese and decided to take it to the laboratory and generate a product for family consumption. The aromas when cooking are some of my favorite experiences and sautéed grape tomatoes with garlic are among my favorite. This recipe is in a bit reverse cycle but yields very similar results and can be made anywhere you can plug your IP up, so it is ever more versatile.

          Slowly appreciate the photos below and review the instructions to see just how to unlock the Feta Pasta recipe using your Instant Pot. Filling and simple this recipe is easy to follow and will be enjoyed by all. I enjoy my saucy pasta with slightly toasted slices of my local bakers french bread and suggest you serve yours with your favorite also. Choose a good quality for your feta to enhance the flavor profile but feel free to do as I did and use what you have on hand. This recipe features simple ingredients but I do highly recommend adding fresh basil. If you don’t already, I suggest you start growing your own basil this season as it is a must in many eat foodlicious dishes.

          Please follow Facebook, Instagram,  Twitter , Pinterest, or subscribe to my YouTube channel.

          Add garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 mintues or until the tomatoes are softened.

          Add pasta, water and mix.

          Place feta cheese, pepper flakes & basil on top of the pasta, don’t mix or stir.

          Press the canel button. Place the lid on. Pressure cook on high for 4 minutes and a quick release.

          Mash the feta cheese and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper.

          Serve & Enjoy!
