Chicken Parmesan

Today we had Chicken Parmesan and it was good. Josh and Johnny were playing a hockey game before dinner. It got a little hot in the room so we opened the window to cool off because it was nice out.

To start dinner we had to get the ingredients out. Then we had to put the spaghetti sauce into the baking pan. While we were getting dinner ready, the table fell because it wasn't latched. The spaghetti sauce splattered everywhere. Josh had sauce on his socks, Ms. Jamie had some on her shoes, and it was all over the floor. After cleaning up the mess, we continued making the chicken parmesan. It had to cook in the oven for 30 minutes and we had to make the pasta.

• 6 chicken tenders (or 2-3 chicken breasts)
• salt & pepper
• 1-16oz jar marinara sauce
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 2 servings cooked pasta

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour marinara sauce in an oven-safe baking dish then add parmesan cheese and basil and stir to combine.
• Lightly season chicken with salt & pepper then nestle it into the sauce mixture, covering it completely with sauce.
• Top with mozzarella cheese and cover loosely with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve on top of cooked pasta.

While the meal was cooking, we talked about where everyone was going for spring break. I think the meal was easy to make. I liked that the chicken was cooked and covered in melted cheese.
