Recipe #129 Chicken Parm You Taste So Good

What a blessing it was to be able to share this meal - the smells we had in the kitchen this past Tuesday was about to die for, and the taste wasn't too shabby either. With minor alterations, I would like to thank Allrecipes.com and my sister Carolyn for the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons EVOO
2 cloves minced garlic
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/3 of the large zucchini used in recipe #3
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups pasta sauce

dash of oregano
1 cup of garlic salad croutons crushed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

In your favorite baking pan, swirl a turn of olive oil to coat the bottom and add the red pepper flakes and garlic to the pan.

Slice the zucchini into half-inch disks and layer in the bottom of the pan. Drizzle a bit more EVOO over these.

Add the chicken to the pan, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Season with oregano.

Cover with the cheese and top everything with the crushed croutons. I've never used these before and I found these really add a whole nother layer of flavor to this dish.

Bake for an hour and check the meat temp - you want to not get sick by eating under-cooked chicken!

We had a little the next day, very tasty - even heated up in the microwave.

I was just thinking, I only used a half jar of Kroger Homestyle Parmesan and Romano Pasta Sauce, but you could add onion, green pepper, mushrooms, ... bacon, ... ??

Be creative - enjoy!!
