Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This is a terribly easy one. Kids adore this. Maybe it's the cheese, maybe the crunch. Who knows with kids?

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

4 boneless chicken breasts

a couple of plops of maynnaise (I like light)

a few heavy sprinkles Parmesan cheese

a few small sprinkles bread crumbs (seasoned is fine)

Combine mayonnaise and cheese.
Spread on chicken.
Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

Options:Instead of Parmesan cheese, crush up some Cheese-its (I like white cheddar)

Make it a meal: Serve with roasted broccoli (see recipe) and garlic Parmesan potato wedges (see recipe)

Wine: Chardonnay
