Food For Thought/Moving in May - Italy - Count me In!Dear Friends,As we are Moving in May and therefore Moving Around the World this month with our virtual tour around the globe, we have asked Leanne to keep us up to date through our tour with fun information and recipes. We started our tour in Brevard, NC and headed across the ocean to Florence, Italy. Leanne, our nutritionist, has put together a yummy recipe for us along with a few hints of how to toss in some extras for her Count Me In program!

Kelly ************************** Dear Friends, Ah...ITALY! Oh yes, I know...gondolas, Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa...blah blah blah. But what about the FOOD! Pasta, gorgeous tomatoes, beautiful veggies, fabulous bread. I can smell it now! The bandwagon of late has been about COUNT ME IN! As in, I'm going to up my intake of fruits and veggies everyday and love my body. And when you combine Count Me In with Moving in May, wow, what a combo! Now you can have your fruits and veggies and MOVE too! As we move through Italy, what do you say we look at some veggies that we can go Italian with? I love that idea...I'll gladly move my franny for Chicken Parmesan! Enjoy! Chicken Parmesan Serves 6 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded flat 2 eggs, lightly beaten 3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (your favorite) 3/4 cup shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 3 3/4 cups (6 oz.) wide egg noodles -- uncooked Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large plastic, zipper topped bag, place 2 chicken breast halves at a time and use a rolling pin to flatten. Take turns with the chicken till it's all flattened. (tip: easier to do if chicken if half frozen!) In a bowl, place your lightly beaten eggs and in another bowl, the bread crumbs. Dip chicken in egg first, then bread crumbs to coat thoroughly. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat; add chicken. Cook on both sides until lightly browned and drain well on paper towels. Pour 1/2 cup sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish. Layer chicken in the dish and pour about 3/4 cup sauce evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle with the cheeses and bake 25 minutes or until bubbly. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions and drain. Heat remaining sauce. To serve, place noodles on the bottom, spoon sauce over noodles and arrange chicken pieces on top.
