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.
