Steps to make Chicken Parmesan + Spaghetti:
Prepare the tomato sauce. - - In a skillet over low heat, add Alce Nero's olive oil. - - Add garlic and chili flakes. - - Allow the garlic and chili flakes to simmer in the oil for about 15 mins. - - The heat has to be on super low, or the garlic will burn very fast.
As soon as the garlic starts to brown, remove from heat and transfer into a large bowl. - - Add in Alce Nero's tomato sauce. - - Taste and adjust for seasonings with salt and pepper. - - Mix to combine well. Mix, mix, mix. - - Set aside until ready to use. - - The sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Prepare the chicken parmesan. - - Butterfly the chicken breast and slice into halves. - - Place the chicken breast on the working surface. - - Wrap with cling film. - - Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to tenderize until almost the same thickness.
Dredge the chicken with flour. - - Shake off any excess. - - In a shallow bowl, add egg, mustard and paprika. - - Mix to combine well.
Add in the chicken. - - Coat the chicken well with the egg mixture. - - Cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge for about 1 hr.
In a shallow bowl, add cornflakes, panko, togarashi, nori, salt and pepper. - - Combine everything together. - - In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 inch of oil. - - To check the temperature of the oil, insert a wooden chopstick. If bubbles start to form around the chopstick, the temperature of the oil is ready for frying.
Dredge the chicken onto the cornflakes mixture. - - Press the cornflakes mixture onto the chicken. - - You can lay the chicken in between parchment paper. Lightly roll using a rolling pin. So that the cornflakes mixture will adhere to the chicken.

Use Food to Elevate Your Mood
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that, when you consume them, can boost your mood. When you feel a little down and need an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you boost your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Consume an egg and jolly up!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more serotonin you have, the better you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
Some grains are actually wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full also which can truly help to better your mood. Feeling hungry can really make you feel awful! These grains can elevate your mood as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This helps better your mental acuity while relaxing the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you be better. And now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try a couple of of these hints instead.
