Chicken Parmesan

Let me tell you what Gammy and I did the other night. We didn’t go to the store, but we had chicken tenders, garlic bread and tomato sauce, from our meatballs and spaghetti a couple of Sundays ago, in the freezer. Sliced tomatoes will work real good in a pinch or store sauce. We also had some baby spinach in the fridge.

Pre heated the oven to 375.

Put some chunks of the frozen tomato sauce or the store sauce, in a small pot with a little water and med heat. Floured the chicken tenders and fried them up in a little olive oil then put them in a casserole dish that I had put just a small spoon of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Put some more sauce on top of the chicken. Then shredded some mozzarella cheese on top, a touch more sauce, a little dried basil, a little more dried oregano, drizzled with a little olive oil and topped with parmesan cheese. Put it in the oven.

Chopped up 2 cloves of garlic and put that in a frying pan with some olive oil, med low heat, just long enough to get the garlic fragrant, about 1 ½ min. Then added a few handfuls of spinach. Turned it while it wilted and then removed from the heat to be reheated a little when the chicken is just about ready to come out of the oven.

We had some garlic bread in the freezer and put a few pieces in the toaster oven.

It all was done and we sat down to a great, easy meal. Oh yeh, squeeze a little lemon on the spinach when it’s done. would you believe we also had some wine!?
