Dinner Tonight.

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I got three posts in and then had major writers block and didn't know what to write about! But I am back and hopefully going to stay with it.  I have a few things to blog about that have gone on in the last couple of weeks but for tonight I'm going to make it short and sweet and give you an amazing recipe that I just cooked. Yum Yum!

Baked Chicken Parmesan. 
From Skinnytaste.com

Let me just say, I am a huge chicken parmesan fan, I literally will order it wherever they serve it. CAN'T GET ENOUGH! But I have tried about 4 different recipes to make my own, and this is by far the easiest and I personally think it taste better! It's not fried, like most are, and is healthier!

Ingredients:
4 chicken breast, sliced in half (like through the center of the chicken)
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I just used panko breadcrumbs since I already had them and it worked!)
1/4 cup graded parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I use way more than this but its just a guideline)
1 cup marinara (I again use more than this, just use what you feel like using!)
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450 and spray large baking sheet/pan with cooking spray!

All the ingredients! For those of you on a budget like us, it's a pretty cheap dinner to make!

First, mix breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl.

Next, melt the butter.

Brush butter onto chicken and then dip and coat in breadcrumb mixture. (Side note: I didn't take a picture of cutting the chicken breast in half because quite frankly I think it's gross! So ladies, if your man or roommate or whoever is around, get them to cut it! But it's definitely necessary to do, because it makes for a thinner chicken patty and less cook time, and I personally like a thinner patty.)

Lightly spray a little cooking spray onto the chicken before it goes in the oven for a crispy golden color.

Bake in oven for 20 minutes, then take out and turn chicken over and bake for another 5 minutes.

This is the chicken when I took it out the first time

Then after you've turned it and let it cook for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon sauce onto chicken (I just put enough to cover majority of the chicken, I don't follow the instructions here or for the cheese. To me more=better!) Then add some cheese!

Now I didn't get a picture of the final product because we ate it immediately since we were starving! Dylan loves this one! And it makes for good leftovers too :)

I served it with some ziti noodles (because I don't like spaghetti noodles very much) and used the leftover marinara to top those!

Delicious. Easy. Cheap.
