loaded mashed potatoes and parmesan crusted chicken


my kitchen aid came in!!! and it's beautiful. i picked the yellow one. since mike was WAY too good to me for Christmas...the first kitchen aid recipe goes out to him...and his FAVORITE is mashed potatoes
loaded mashed potatoes:
6 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1/2 cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
Mix first six ingredients in mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Spoon into a greased 9x13-inch pan or casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese and bacon. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350.

parmesan crusted chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Whisk for Dipping Mixture:
2 egg whites
2 t. cornstarch
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Combine for Crusting Mixture:
1 cup coarse bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. ground black pepper
Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise, then pound between plastic until 1/2" thick.

Whisk
egg whites and lemon juice in a shallow dish for the dipping mixture; set aside.

Combine
ingredients for crusting mixture in a wide, shallow dish. Crust prepared chicken by dipping both sides first in the dipping mixture, then in the crusting mixture. Transfer the crusted chicken to a rack set over a baking sheet. Air-dry chicken 20 - 30 minutes to help set the crumbs.

You can saute the chicken first using 3T of olive oil over medium heat and cook till golden and crisp on both sides (about 3 minutes on each side)....BUT my kitchen was getting a bit crazy and i already had enough dishes to worry about...so i skipped the step and moved mine straight to the oven. Preheat oven to 450 and cook for 8-10 minutes to until chicken is cooked through.
