Food Network Shows How to Crush, Slice and Mince Garlic 01:24
Food Network teaches how to crush, slice and mince garlic. Peel off some of the papery skin from the garlic and then smash the head of garlic with the heel of your hand to loosen the cloves; if you only need a few cloves, leave the head intact and pull some off. Separate the cloves. To peel a clove, cut away the root end with your knife. Lay the flat side of the knife over the clove while holding the knife handle, then with the heel of your free hand carefully whack the knife against the garlic to separate the skin from the clove. To crush the peeled garlic, lay the flat side of the knife over the clove and smash it again. To slice peeled garlic, lay the clove flat on the cutting board and hold it with the fingertips of one hand, keeping them curled under. Using a rocking motion with the knife, make thin slices by moving the knife slowly across the clove. To mince peeled garlic, lay the flat side of a knife over the clove and smash it. Roughly chop the clove then move your free hand flat across the tip of the knife and use a rocking motion to chop the garlic until it’s finely minced.

Ingredients
Directions
- Coat a saute pan with olive oil and place over medium heat. When the oil gets hazy, add the onions, garlic, and bay leaves; cook and stir for 5 minutes until fragrant and soft. Add the olives and some hand-torn basil. Carefully add the tomatoes (nothing splashes like tomatoes), cook and stir until the liquid is cooked down and the sauce is thick, about 15 minutes; season with sugar, salt and pepper. Lower the heat, cover, and keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Get the ingredients together for the chicken so you have a little assembly line. Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/2-inch thick. Put the flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In a wide bowl, combine the eggs and water, beat until frothy. Put the bread crumbs on a plate, season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high flame in a large oven-proof skillet. Lightly dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the bread crumbs. When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 4 minutes on each side until golden and crusty, turning once.
- Ladle the tomato-olive sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and basil. Bake the Chicken Parmesan for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve hot with spaghetti.

Totally delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing. I served it over spaghetti with salad and bread for Sunday dinner and the family loved it. Yes the tomatoes were chunky but I really liked how rustic the dish was. I grow basil and having it fresh in the sauce was great flavor. I dirtied a lot of dishes but for Sunday dinner it was worth it.

I thought the recipe was OK tasting. I realized after we started eating and it wasn't as tasty as I thought it should be, that the recipe is different than the video. In the video, Tyler adds parmesan cheese and herbs to the bread crumbs. I tried to follow the recipe exactly and that was the issue. I think following the video exactly would make it tastier. He also pours olive oil over the dish before putting it in the oven, which is also not part of the recipe directons. I didn't like that the whole tomatoes did not break up well and feel that maybe crushed tomatoes would have been better.

My son ate this and said it was delicious and that he loves it. This kid argues about eating everything and takes 1.5 hours every night for dinner. This was gone in 25 minutes for him. That is by far a win for me! I would say it’s a SOLID 4.8 stars. The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was how large the tomatoes stayed even after hand squishing them. I can get over that for the taste of it tho, great recipe :)

I have been making this for years, even though my family and friends don't like olives, they still love this, they just don't eat the olives but that is the secret ingredient that makes this supreme. All restaurants now suffer by comparison according to my family. Thank you sooo much Tyler!!

This was awesome. I made my own sauce that I make for skettie, but did the chicken exactly as described, It’s a keeper. Thanks.
