End of week again!

I hope it has been a great week for every one and that you are all ready for a busy weekend.  Yesterday I had my youngest (for the moment) grand-daughter's 2nd birthday.  She was so excited and after practising with her brother for his birthday last week she had a good idea of what it was all about.  Tomorrow we have her brother's 5th birthday party, so I am sure they will both enjoy that event.  It is his first birthday party with his own friends and is so excited.
I am also going out to lunch tomorrow with a good friend, we have so far decided to visit one of our lovely wineries in McLaren Vale.  Many of the wineries serve platters for lunch which we can share.  Will let you know which winery and what we eat on Sunday!  So, as you see I have quite a pleasant weekend ahead of me.  Also, great news this week, I am to be a grandmother again and couldn't be more thrilled! More news at a later date.  Have a great weekend every one.

Thank God its Friday recipe is a chicken recipe again, probably because chicken is usually quick to cook. May not be as healthy as it could be with all that cream, but if it is only now and again, who cares! I hope it works well for you and I get some great feedback. Enjoy!

Very Ritzy Italian Chicken

Very Ritzy Italian Chicken is fancy enough for company, but easy enough to add excitement to any week night meal, but definitely a Friday.   Our creamy-cheesy topping for chicken breasts taste luxurious.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 35 min

What You'll Need:

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 slices mozzarella cheese
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste

What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 �F. Dip the chicken breasts in the eggs. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl; coat the chicken with the bread crumbs. 
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil until moderately hot. Place the chicken in the skillet and brown lightly on both sides. Remove from pan and place in a baking dish.
3. Top each breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
4. In a saucepan, mix together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook until mixture is hot and has thickened. Pour over chicken and bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and light golden.
5. Serve with green salad or vegetables or pasta.  Simple.
