Chef is not a word that many people would use to describe me. However, cooking is something that I would like to master. In order to do so, I have to start somewhere. I decided that for my Network Learning Project I would attempt to create my favorite meal of all time, Chicken Parmesan. I began the process by doing a search on Pinterest, an image website where you can discover, post, and comment on different recipes, ideas, and styles. My initial search led me to a recipe using a crock pot, but after some more research I was able to find a recipe using a skillet. According to Bransford (2000), “experts acquire a great deal of content knowledge that shows a deeper understanding of the subject matter.” I am in the very beginning stages of becoming an expert and gaining a deeper understanding of how to make chicken parmesan. It is a learning process, but with failure comes success. The included image may look as though it was successful but it was taken early on, about 8 minutes into the cooking process. The end result was not consistent. Two pieces of the chicken appeared to be left on for too long and were burnt, while the other pieces were undercooked. Over the upcoming weeks, I will be locating a different source to learn how to know when the chicken is fully cooked and if I should be doing something specific like turning it every few minutes. This will help me to understand more about cooking chicken, which paired with other skills will contribute to me becoming an expert at making chicken parmesan.
