Football season is upon us and arguably the best part of football season has got to be the food!! It's always fun, casual, and exciting and going back for seconds and thirds is always encouraged! These sliders are so sensational I can't even explain it but I just know you will absolutely love them as much as we do. An easy (and much quicker) take on the slow cooked classic French Dip, this still delivers all the same flavor but in much less time and in a more laid back way. I just know you'll love his recipe and it's as easy to make 4 as it is to make one 1 so party on!

If there's one thing I'm sure of, is that pretty much everyone, kids and adults alike, just simply can't turn down a golden brown, crispy chicken cutlets, so for that reason (I do prioritize my sanity most days) they are on the dinner table often because I know, everyone will happily eat them without complaining which makes the dinner time experience that much nicer. Italians love cutlets and there was no shortage of them on the table pretty much every time we went out to dinner, and for good reason, they are simple yet irresistible and it's the kind of thing you can easily fall back on when a menu feels intimidating or overwhelming and you'll never regret your decision to order a cutlet. When I want to elevate a cutlet I will usually serve it with a salad and drizzle the whole thing with the most tangy lemon dressing (and my kid can simply eat the cutlet by itself very happily) or, in this luscious lemony butter sauce that quite frankly it's so good I could eat it with a spoon. So next time you find yourself Ian a dinner pickle, fry up some of these cutlets and make a pan sauce to go with and I promise you, it will become a staple in your household like it is in ours! RECIPE: 4-6oz Chicken Breast, thinly pounded 2 Eggs, 1/4 cup of Milk 1/2 cup of Parm, divided 1/2 cup of Plain Bread Crumbs 1/2 cup of Extra Light Olive Oil 1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 Shallot, minced 1 cup of Chicken Stock 1/4 cup of Lemon Juice or 3 Tbsp of you don’t want it as lemony 2 Tbsp of Chopped Parsley 2 Tbsp of Butter 1 Tbsp of Flour Printable recipe: http://www.laurainthekitchen.com Instagram: @mrsvitale 00:00 - Intro 00:50 - Perp Breading Station 02:40 - Dredge Chicken 03:22 - Fry Cutlets 06:15 - Make Pan Sauce 09:15 - Finish Pan sauce and Chicken 10:06 - Dig In Fan Mail: PO Box 300 Minotola NJ 08341 #italianfood #chicken #recipe

A classic Italian appetizer that my mother used to make for special occasions throughout my childhood and recently reignited my love for it while we were in Italy and saw them on the menu while out to dinner. My mother was with us and I started asking her about them and suddenly we were going through memory lane all about my childhood, birthdays and any event where she’d make these along with many other little pizzas and appetizers for our friends and family. These are sensational, a tiny bit labor intensive but not difficult, you basically make a pasta dish, let it set then cut, batter and fry and they are worth every bit of effort you put into it. Reserve these for a special occasion or when you have time on your hands to play in the kitchen with the most delicious reward awaiting you at the end.
