Best Chicken Soup Ever

It’s been called nature’s penicillin and is at the top of the list for its curative powers. Hot chicken soup helps clear clogged airways, and the nourishing broth will give you more energy. And when following Maria's recipe, you will guarantee a quick recovery.

In this recipe, I use, mainly, garlic, onion and ginger. Before cooking, you should know why I chose these 3 ingredients to create my delicious chicken soup.

Garlic ranks as one of the most potent remedies of all time. The most important compound that derives from garlic, is Allicin that provides the greatest reputed health benefits.

As well as having antibiotic properties, allicin is an excellent anti-fungal and garlic preparations have been used in folk medicine to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot.

Onions contain a large amount of sulfur and are especially good for the liver.
Sulfur-containing amino acids are found in onions as well and are called methionine and cystine and, among other things, they are very good at detoxifying your body from heavy metals. In fact, they are able to latch on to mercury, cadmium and lead and escort them out of the body.
Vitamin C, also contained in onions, is excellent at detoxifying the body and is effective in removing lead, arsenic and cadmium. So increasing consumption of onions can help the body to get rid of these harmful metals.

Onion is very good for your heart, it will help:
• Boost beneficial HDL cholesterol

Super Mom's Chicken Parmesan

Healthy and Quick Recipe

* Tip: Always Marinate your chicken in olive oil, lemon, onion powder and garlic powder. You can either prepare them 24 hours ahead and store them in the fridge or if you take one trip a month to the supermarket, marinate all your chicken and store them in the freezer.

Ingredients

• 600 g halved, marinated boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 3 tbsp parmesan
• 2 tbsp Canola oil
• 400 g tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp dried basil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 150g Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Directions

 Prepare the breadcrumbs, black pepper, salt, 1 tbsp Parmesan and white pepper.

 

Mix all in a bowl

 Coat chicken pieces with breadcrumbs mix.

Preheat a pan.

Pour Canola Oil, and cook the chicken until golden brown.

Note that the excess of breadcrumbs might burn a little, but don't worry you can remove that excess. In the popular recipe, chicken is usually fried but to keep it light, I only use 2 tbsp of oil so we are practically baking and not frying which may burn some of the breadcrumbs.

 

Meanwhile, prepare the tomato sauce: add 1 tbsp Parmesan, dried basil, salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

Place the chicken in an oven proof baking dish.

Place 1 tbsp of tomato sauce over every piece of chicken.

Sprinkle them with Mozzarella and 1 tbsp of Paremsan.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake for 20 minutes.

And here it is, a delicious, healthy and light casserole of chicken Parmesan.

Serve with corn or mashed potatoes
