The link listed above is a clip of me making Emmalee's dish on Studio 5! Check it out!
This recipe is a true inspiration from a brave little girl who courageously lost her battle to liver cancer at the tender age of 9. Her father has written a book called Dragonfly Wings for Emmalee about her life & death that will strengthen & inspire. Like myself, Emmalee had a great passion for food and trying new things! She loved watching The Food Network and one of her wishes to The Make a Wish Foundation was to be a potato chip tester for a day! After her chemo treatments she often craved Salt & Vinegar potato chips. She is my sweet kindred spirit in the kitchen and I hope she would give this dish a thumbs up! This is for you Emmalee. ~Xoxo

Salt & Vinegar Crusted Chicken topped with Balsamic Carmelized Onions, Herbs, & Fresh Parmesan...
6 chicken breasts- about 1/2 inch thick
3 cups of salt & vinegar potato chip crumbs
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs; beaten
1 cup flour seasoned with salt & pepper
Olive oil
fresh parmesan cheese
Rinse and pat chicken dry and season with salt & pepper on both sides. Combine eggs in one shallow dish, seasoned flour in a separate shallow dish, and potato chip crumbs plus 1/4 tsp salt in another. Dredge each chicken breast in seasoned flour shaking off excess, dip in eggs and then coat both sides with potato chip crumbs. In a large skillet brown the coated chicken breasts in olive oil over med-high heat on both sides. About 2-3 minutes per side or until chicken is golden. Place browned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and finish cooking in oven about 8 minutes @ 350 degrees. May take longer depending on thickness of your chicken.
Balsamic Carmelized Onions w/ Herbs
2 large onions thinly sliced
2-3 tbsp olive oil
fresh rosemary, thyme, basil (use whatever fresh herbs you like)
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
Over med-high heat drizzle olive oil in skillet and add sliced onions. Saute till nice and dark golden brown. Add fresh herbs, balsamic, and salt & pepper to taste. Top warmed chicken with onions and fresh shaved parmesan.
Enjoy!!
