….what am I going to be like in 10 or 20 years??

I had made Quick Chicken Parmesan for dinner, popped it in the oven, and had about half an hour to wait til it got done. I went downstairs and played a game of Wii bowling with the boys, messed around on the computer for a while, then sauntered back upstairs to rustle up a salad and take dinner out of the oven. Then I realized I had forgotten all about making the spaghetti noodles to go with the chicken parmesan. 🙄 Thankfully they don’t take too long to cook.

Quick Chicken Parmesan 

10 chicken tenderloin pieces
1 can tomato sauce seasoned with oregano, basil, garlic powder, and minced onion (it’s ideal to add 1 small can of tomato paste, but not absolutely necessary)
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Cooked spaghetti noodles (we like angel-hair pasta)

Place the chicken tenderloin pieces in a single layer in a baking pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced onion. Mix in oregano, basil, garlic powder, and minced onion with the tomato sauce (not sure how much — I just sprinkle it in); pour over chicken. Cover with grated or thinly sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes if chicken is thawed; 30-40 minutes if frozen.

This serves our family of five. You can, of course, use your favorite ready-made spaghetti sauce instead. In “real” chicken parmesan, the chicken is breaded, but I figure this saves calories as well as time .
