Easy Weeknight Chicken Parmesan

“What do you want for dinner? I don’t know, what do you want?” Sound familiar? Of course it does. This conversation happens most afternoons when my husband calls to say he is on the way home.

My daughter and I decided to take matters into our own hands on Monday. I stopped at the store for a few basic ingredients:

  • Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts – get thin sliced if available
  • Sliced Mozerella
  • Italian Style Bread Crumbs
  • A jar of your favorite Marinara sauce; I’m linking up one we really like. http://www.michaelsofbrooklyn.com
  • Pasta

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 deg
  2. Grab your favorite Rectangle Baker or Glass Baking Dish and spread about a quarter of the jar on the bottom of the dish.
  3. If the chicken looks thick, cut in half lengthwise and pound out with a meat tenderizer. You want the chicken to be about 1/4″ thick to cook quickly.
  4. Salt and Pepper the Chicken. I even use a little bit of Sweet Basil Salt.
  5. Coat the chicken with the Italian Bread Crumbs, and place in the Baker
  6. Add sauce on the top, and top with a slice of Mozarella
  7. Bake for 30 min (while you make the Noodles or the Zoodles).

The best thing about this dish is having time to move around the kitchen. It doesn’t take a lot of time to pull together, and your family will be wanting seconds.
