I crave Italian food in a hot and steamy summer because it reminds me of Sicilian tomato sauce cooking in my Nonna’s kitchen. She used to make gallons of sauce and jar them every summer so that the whole family would have plenty all winter long. That’s why, in the winter, all I want is the sauce from those jarred tomatoes, smothering some chicken<\/a> in basil and melted Parmesan<\/a>. It’s the perfect comfort food that is a nod to summer preservation of food, culture and traditions. <\/p>\n

One dish I make a lot in the winter (simply because it is so easy and contains basically every one of my favorite ingredients), is this incredible Skillet Chicken<\/a> Parmesan <\/a><\/strong>which can be made eaten right out of the pan with some rustic Italian bread dunked in the sauce, or you can make some pretty scrumptious sandwiches out if it, too.<\/p>\n

\"before<\/a><\/p>\n

It all starts with great halal chicken<\/a>, of course and then is prepared much like a regular Chicken Parmesan<\/a> dish in that the meat<\/a> is seasoned the same way, although it is cooked on the stove top instead of baked. <\/p>\n

\"cover<\/a><\/p>\n

Then sauce and cheese<\/a> are added straight into same skillet once the chicken<\/a> is in.<\/p>\n

\"parm<\/a><\/p>\n

The cheese<\/a> melts so nicely, right into the fresh basil<\/a>…that’s the best part of it all…<\/p>\n

\"parm<\/a><\/p>\n

This is when you get to decide whether or not you want to enjoy this over spaghetti<\/a>, on some rustic Italian bread as a sandwich fit for dinner…<\/p>\n

\"italian<\/a><\/p>\n

…or right out of the pan…<\/p>\n

\"totally<\/a><\/p>\n

I always seem to choose the sandwich. I’m an 80’s kid and we seem to have made sandwiches out of everything.<\/p>\n

\"add<\/a><\/p>\n

This is more like a gourmet Italian sub.<\/p>\n

\"skillet<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t get enough of them, and I don’t have to look around at any restaurant to serve it up, especially when halal chicken<\/a> is hard to come by in many Italian places, not to mention any of the issues around bread (i.e. the dough conditioners I talk about in the My Halal Kitchen cookbook<\/a>) and cheese (i.e. enzymes and rennet that I also discuss in my cookbook), and anything else that might be processed or not so fresh.<\/p>\n

\"vertical<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s so good you’ll want to make it over and over again, trust me. <\/p>\n

What’s your go-to comfort food sub or sandwich? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
