Chicken Mozzarella Sandwich





INGREDIENTS

1 Chicken Breast
1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 Cup of Mozzarella Balls
1 Teaspoon of Milk

COOKING

1 Chicken breast will yield enough for two chicken salad sandwiches
and two chicken mozzarella sandwiches
Place you hand over the breast and lice horizontally about a 1/4 in even smaller if could be
Salt and Pepper the top of the chicken
Take medium pan coat the bottom with olive oil
Place your chicken season side down on high heat
Salt and Pepper the other side now
Once side start to turn white
Reduce heat to medium
and turn the chicken over
keep on heat for about 10 to 12 minutes
The easiest way to know if you chicken is done take your
thickest piece and slice at the thickest part
This needs to be WHITE and then the chicken is done
From here you can make either or both today we will make both

On a Small sauce pot on low heat melt the mozzarella
Fresh Mozzarella balls will work better than the mozzarella block
because you need that liquid to help it no stick to the bottom of the pot

Add a teaspoon of Milk
(it will help for the cheese not to stick or burn)
and a Teaspoon of Black Pepper

Using a Spoon Kneed the cheese into a ball

Slice your bread  and place on the pan
on High heat

Until the bread toast





Use the toasted bread with the melted mozzarella (L) or with the salad(R)





Either way Try it and ENJOY

PART 2 of 2
for part one CLICK HERE

INGREDIENTS

**Meat**
2Lbs of Meat
1 Medium Onion
1 Tablespoon of Garlic
1 Tablespoon of Tomato Paste
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Tablespoon of Black Pepper
**Noodles**

**Cheese**
2 Cups of Ricotta Cheese
16 Oz Mozzarella Cheese
3/4 Cup Grated Cheese
1 Teaspoon of Oregano
1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 teaspoon of Black Pepper




MEAT PREP

In a deep pan line the bottom with Finely diced onions, oil and Chopped Garlic
Once the onions have become translucent
Add the Meat

Using a potato masher press the meat to separate it

Once meat is separated keep stirring over medium high heat

Once meat has lost that reddish tint drop in the Tomato Paste
Stir until most of liquid has evaporated. If you see too much liquid
then you can strain some off

You need to make sure your meat is liquid free or close to it

Add two cups of tomato sauce set aside and prep other things for lasagna


 PASTA NOODLES PREP

After preparing the noodles and having them ready to go in you freezer take them out
PART ONE OF TWO

Large sauce pan bring 4 quarts of water to a boil add tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of oil
Drop in pasta and keep in mind once they float to the top with fresh pasta
means they are done

Prepare a deep bowl or container with cold water as it will help the noodles from sticking

strain the cooked noodles from the boiling water and make sure they are now covered with cold water
Select the best pieces and set aside for the top and set aside

CHEESE PREP

Take a block of mozzarella cheese

Slice half and put aside.
Then cube up the other half
Place the half block of cheese in a bowl

Add two cups of Ricotta Cheese

Add one egg

And 3/4 of a cup of grated cheese

Add to the mixture oregano salt, pepper, oregano and garlic powder

Stir and put aside to start putting our lasagna together



 FINAL PREP AND COOK


Line bottom of cooking pan with sauce
Place half of your Noodles over the sauce
Pour half of the Cheese mixture

Pour half of the meat to cover the noodles and cheese mixture
By adding the sauce to the meat it helps to skip the step to add the sauce now

Repeat with Noodles and this time sprinkle some grated cheese it will
help soak up some moisture
Repeat with Cheese and Meat mixture
Cover the top with the longer noodles
take the sliced mozzarella you have and distribute on the top
1/2 cup of sauce to cover the top and sprinkle grated cheese
When ready to eat lasagna take pan and put in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes
Since it is fresh pasta you need to have it sit and the serve and ENJOY
