Australian Chicken Parma / Parmigiana


It's 20 years today since I arrived to Australia...20 years!!! 
3 of us were refugees in Austria, who decided to apply for Australian visa. I didn't want to come, because I learned in school that 70% of all world's poisonous insects and animals live in Australia. I thought my baby would be bitten and die, as we'd get some remote land to live on ... :-)
Today, my baby is almost 21, another-one 16. I love living in Australia!

This meal is very popular in Australians pubs. We call it simple 'Parmi' or 'Parma'. Australians LOVE shortening any word they can; They say it's because of too many flies and the danger of swallowing them if too long word is spoken ;-).  Below the post is a list of most popular short words. 
Original recipe   (Italian Chicken Parmigiana) doesn't call for a slice of ham over the chicken schnitzel; That addition is purely Australian.

Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 2 tbs flour
  • 1+ cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg white 
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (150g each)
  • (4 slices short cut bacon -optional)
  • salt , pepper
  • oil for frying 
  • 3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese, or 4 large slices  fresh mozzarella
  • 4+ tbs tomato pasta sauce

Method:
Season breast pieces; Mix flour and parmesan and coat meat pieces well (dust off excess). Dip them into beaten eggs, then into bread crumbs.
Fry schnitzels in a shallow oil (or, spray with oil and  bake them on 200*C for 5-7 minutes each side).
Spoon tomato paste onto each schnitzel, place bacon pieces (if using) over it, then place mozzarella. Return to hot oven for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese melts. Serve with potato chips and salad, for complete (Australian pub) experience.





Pileća 'Parmižana'/ Australijska Parma

Danas je tacno 20 godina od kako sam pristigla u Australiju. ...20 GODINA!
Nas 3 je privremeno boravilo u Austriji, gdje smo odlucili traziti vizu za zivot u Australiji. 
Ja nisam zeljela doci, jer sam nekada davno u skoli ucila da 70% od svih otrovnih insekata i zivotinja zivi u Australiji. Mislila sam da ce moju bebu ugristi neki od njih i da ce umrijeti, jer ce nas sigurno  smjestiti na nekoj nenastanjenoj zemlji da zivimo i snalazimo se...:-)
Ta moja beba ima skoro 21 godinu danas, druga 16. Volim zivot u Australiji!

Ovo  jelo je veoma popularno u Australijskim pabovima. (Pub skracenica za "Public House", odnosno otvorena (narodna) kuca). 
Skraceno je zovemo Parma. Australci mnogo vole skracenice - kazu da su nastale zbog mnogo muha i insekata ... nacin da sto manje otvarate usta i ne progutate neki insekt ;-). Dole mozete naci popularne skracene rijeci koje se redovno upotrebljavaju u Australiji.

Dodatak 'kratko' rezane mesnate slanine je cisti Australijski dodatak i u originalnom receptu  (Italijanska Pileca  Parmizana) nije koristena.


Potrebno:
1/3 solje rendanog parmezana
2 K brasna
1 +solje krusnih mrvica / prezle
2 jaja + 1 bjelance
4 polovine pilecih prsa (oko 150 gr svaki)
(4 reznja mesnate slanine, kratki okrugli dio -opciono)
so i biber
ulje za przenje
3/4 solje rendane mocarele, ili 4 velika reznja svjeze
4+ K paradajz sosa (za tjesteninu ili picu)
  
Nacin:
Zacinite meso; Pomijesajte parmezan i brasno, pa uvaljajte meso u tu mjesavinu. Umocite ga zatim u umucena jaja, zatim u mrvice.
Przite u plitkom ulju obje strane, ili pospricajte uljanim sprejom i pecite u rerni oko 5-7 minuta svaku stranu na 200 *C. Kasikom nanesite paradajz sos, stavite reznjeve slanine (ako koristite), zatim mocarelu i vratite u rernu dok se sir ne otopi. Servirajte sa przenim krompiricima i salatom, za kompletan ugodjaj (Australijskog 'paba').

  11. Godišnjice su često trenuci u kojima nas hvata nostalgija. Drago mi je da si sretna tamo, tako daleko.

    Nisam još nikad radila pohano meso s parmezanom. Izgleda vrlo ukusno, sad si mi dala ideju za ručak!

  12. Drago mi je da voliš život koji živiš i gdje živiš što je jako važno za sve ostalo. 20 godina puno zvuči, ali i brzo prođe pa se onda pitamo "kad prije" :) Parma ili parmižana (kod nas se kaže parmiđana) mi je super i ovaj tvor receptić su zabilježiti.
