Avocado Chicken Parmigiana

This is one variation of Southern Italian dish "Parmigiana", which is made with shallow-fried eggplants slices topped with tomato sauce and cheese. It is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Some recipes use hard grated cheeses such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, while others use softer melting cheeses like Mozzarella, or a combination of these. I just used Parmesan (that's all I had when I made this dish) will definitely use the combination next time.

• 220 g Chicken breast fillet, halved lengthways
  
  
• 30 g All-purpose flour
  
  
• 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  
  
• 100 g Dried breadcrumbs
  
  
• Olive oil
  
  
• 4 tbsp Tomato pasta sauce
  
  
• 1/2 Avocado, sliced
  
  
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  
  
• Salad leaves, to serve

1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F fan-forced. Place chicken between 2 sheets plastic film and pound to 1/4-inch thick with a rolling pin.
   
   
2. Coat the chicken first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten egg and finally coat well with breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray. Repeat with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
   
   
3. Spray chicken with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each with two tablespoon pasta sauce. Arrange avocado over sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden and chicken is cooked through.

Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

• 100 g Rolled oats©angiesrecipes
  
  
• 75 g Dried flaked coconut
  
  
• 120 g All-purpose flour
  
  
• 100 g Caster sugar (more if you have a sweet tooth)
  
  
• 1/3 tsp Salt
  
  
• 100 g Butter
  
  
• 25 g Inverted sugar syrup (or corn syrup)
  
  
• 1 tsp Baking soda
  
  
• 2 tbsp Boiling water
  
  

1. Heat the oven to 150C/300F and prepare two baking trays covered with parchment. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, coconut, flour, sugar and salt. Meanwhile melt the butter and syrup together in a small pot over low heat.
   
   
2. Stir the baking soda into the boiling water, then stir this into the butter and syrup mixture. And pour all of it over the flour mixture. Mix well, then shape the mixture into 32 balls and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Press down to flatten the cookie balls with your palm.
   
   
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, switching the pan around if you need to for even baking, until the cookies are golden brown. Leave them on the baking trays for 5 minutes before removing them with a spatula to cool on a rack.
