Panko Chicken Parmesan

Hand-breaded · Baked · Portioned

Chicken breasts pounded thin, dipped in egg wash, then pressed into seasoned panko for a crust that stays crisp through a shift. Finished with San Marzano tomato, shaved parmesan and fresh parsley, over a bed of greens dressed with citrus vinaigrette and toasted walnuts.

The care

  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • Free-range eggs
  • San Marzano tomato
  • Parmesan Reggiano
  • Fresh parsley & basil
  • Mixed greens
  • Toasted walnuts

Turkey & Rice Stuffed Peppers

Lean turkey · Marinara · Melted mozzarella

  • Marinara built from scratch: garlic, olive oil, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil
  • Peppers par-roasted before stuffing so they're tender but never mushy after reheat

Ingredients

  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, orange)
  • Lean ground turkey
  • Long-grain rice
  • Scratch marinara (tomato, garlic, olive oil, basil)
  • Sweet onion, oregano
  • Fresh mozzarella
