Guest John Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 a chicken parmo? please elaborate I havenver heard of such things! wot!!!!! never heard of a chicken parmo did you not watch x factor!!! heres some info may just have 1 tonite Origins The Parmo originated as escalope Parmesan, a derivative of veal or chicken Parmigiana, a dish found in several areas where Italian immigrants have settled. The parmo is said to have been created by Nicos Harris, a chef with the American army in World War II. He was wounded in France, but was brought to the United Kingdom to be treated in a British hospital. Eventually, he moved to Middlesbrough and opened a restaurant on Linthorpe Road, where he created the parmo at The American Grill in 1958. His son-in-law, Caramello, still lives in Teesside and continues the family tradition.[1] [edit] Preparation Chicken or pork fillets are flattened, then dipped in egg and then bread crumbs, after which it is deep-fried. Onto this is poured a thick, white sauce (similar to béchamel sauce, but butter may be partially or wholly replaced by other fats) and then it is topped with grated cheese. The cheese is usually a hard cheese such as cheddar, rather than the Parmesan cheese, that originally gave the dish its name. The dish is then grilled or baked to melt the cheese. Recent years have seen an increase in the number of outlets preparing the parmo with reformed chicken rather than solid fillet. [edit] Serving A parmo is often accompanied by chips with a salad, usually consisting of shredded cabbage, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion. Garlic sauce is a popular accompaniment on Teesside. The parmo is generally available in two sizes, and terminology varies between outlets: Large or full parmo Half or regular parmo (sometimes known as a "ladies' parmo") [edit] Variations A "meat feast" parmo from "Four Seasons" in Stockton on Tees Originally, veal was used, but was later replaced by pork. In more recent times, chicken became more popular as more Muslim-owned takeaway restaurants opened. Fish and vegetarian parmos are also offered in certain restaurants. Parmos are also offered with additional toppings in combinations that vary from restaurant to restaurant. For example: Parmo hotshot - chicken or pork topped with cheese, pepperoni, peppers, garlic butter and chili Parmo Kiev - chicken only topped with cheese, garlic butter, and mushrooms Parmo Italia - chicken or pork topped with cheese, garlic butter and ham, with a further topping of mozzarella cheese Meat feast parmo - chicken or pork topped with pepperoni, chicken and ham Parmo Zeno - chicken or pork topped with cheese and onions Nichola Marina vegetarian parmo - created by Charlie Constantine in honour of his late daughter[2] Parmo Pizza - in September 2011 Pizza Hut introduced the Parmo Pizza to Teesside Pizza Hut Parmo Pizza on a flyer Due to its size, a full parmo is usually served in a pizza box along with its accompaniments, although a large round polystyrene tray is also common. [edit] Supermarket sales In 2009, supermarket chain Asda started selling parmos in their shops in Teesside. They claimed they were selling 6,000 chicken parmos a week, making them at the time the shop's fastest selling line. Asda later expanded this line to branches outside Teesside.[3][4] [edit] Nutritional information In 2007, North Yorkshire Trading Standards conducted a survey of 25 fast food dishes. A large parmo with chips and salad contains about 2600 calories and 150g of fat.[5] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Savage Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Quick easy curry... Grill some chicken breast, throw it in an oven proof dish, add some broccoli and carrots. Take a tin of chicken soup add 4 tea spoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon piri piri then pour that over your chicken and veg. Cover in tin foil, slap in oven for 30 mins or so. Adjust piri piri to desired level of spiceyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
