Was at Mariano's on Elston thought I'd buy a Bell and Evans chicken breast and see if it equaled the glorious tasty juicy behemoth of a chicken <insert double entendre> from
Joseph's Finest Meats . While checking out the breasts I noticed they had pre-coated in the case, tortilla (the counterman's favorite), panko Parmesan and one other I forget. I asked if they were Bell & Evans? Response, no, and if they were they would be 30% more expensive.
I wanted air chilled Bell & Evans, and I could easily duplicate coating at home with better chicken, cheese, spices etc, so I opted for boneless skinless chicken thighs. Mariano's chicken breast did not sing to me, I like chicken thighs, plus I wanted to pan-fry.
Short story long, I made pan-fried panko Parmesan Herbs de provenance coated chicken thighs with
Granny's Kugel and mushroom gravy. Not photogenic, needed some color, but tasty.
