Parmesan Chicken with Plum Creek Chicken

Hi there, friends!

If you’ve ever been by Ellsworth Crossing, you know we’re all about family, community, and sharing the simple joys of good food. Today, I want to talk to you about one of the products we’re most proud to carry—Plum Creek Chicken.

Now, I might be a little biased, but Plum Creek Chicken is something special. Raised just a stone’s throw away in Burchard, Nebraska, these birds are the real deal. They’re free-range, naturally raised, and cared for the way they should be—with room to roam, fresh air, and a diet free of hormones and nitrates.

Why Plum Creek Stands Out There’s chicken, and then there’s Plum Creek Chicken

Chicken. If you’ve ever tasted chicken that actually tastes like chicken, you know what I mean. There’s a richness and tenderness to their meat that just can’t be matched by the big commercial guys. The good folks behind Plum Creek, are committed to doing things the right way—not the fast way. We’ve been proud to partner with them to bring this incredible chicken to Ellsworth Crossing. And let me tell you, once you try it, you’ll never want to go back to the store-bought stuff.

A Family Favorite

One of my favorite ways to use Plum Creek’s boneless, skinless chicken breasts is in a good old-fashioned Chicken Parmesan. It’s the kind of dish that makes your whole kitchen smell amazing and has everyone gathered around the table before you can even set it.
It’s easy, comforting, and absolutely delicious—perfect for a weeknight dinner or a Sunday treat. Pair it with a fresh salad or some pasta, and you’ve got a meal that’s sure to bring smiles all around. We’ve even got all the ingredients right here at Ellsworth Crossing.

Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Ingredients
· 1.5 lbs Plum Creek Farms boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 3 large chicken breasts.
· ½ cup of Niobrara Milling whole wheat flour
· 3 large Ellsworth Crossing Farm Fresh eggs
· 1.5 cup Jisa Farmstead shredded mozzarella
· 1.5 cups Papa Rico or Robertos marinara sauce
Breading Mixture
· 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs unseasoned
· ½ cup parmesan cheese
· ¼ teaspoon pepper
· 4 teaspoons of Timbos Italian Seasoning
Instructions
1. Butterfly and pound chicken breasts. To do this, slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (like a book!). Place in between plastic wrap and use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken until it is about ¼ inch thick. This is important and skipping this step will result in undercooked, tough chicken. You should wind up with 6 cutlets.
2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and prepare a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Set out 3 large shallow bowls.
4. In the first bowl add whole wheat flour.
5. In the second bowl, crack and whisk eggs
6. In the third bowl mix together bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning
7. Form an assembly line with your bowls. Take your chicken cutlet and cover it in flour, then dip it in egg, then dip it in the breadcrumb mixture. You can press gently to make sure the cutlets are coated. Repeat for all cutlets.
8. Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes; flip the cutlets, and bake for another 15 minutes.
9. After the chicken has been baking for 30 minutes, top each cutlet with about ¼ cup marinara and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella. Return to the oven and set to broil for about 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
10. Serve over pasta or a salad.
