Jenn’s Shortcut Chicken Parmesan
Want a easy, weeknight dinner (and who doesn’t)? Try making some Baked Chicken Tenders and turning them into Jenn’s Shortcut Chicken Parmesan! It is incredibly easy. James and I have tried this with basic marinara sauce and Alfredo sauce, both were very tasty.
If you would rather use whole chicken breasts, increase the baking time to 20-25 minutes. Save time by preparing breading ahead of time and store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
Jenn’s Shortcut Chicken Parmesan
Preheat oven to 450F and place a large pot of water over high heat.
Prepare chicken tenders and bake 12-15 minutes.
While chicken tenders cook, add pasta to water and cook according to package directions. Empty a jar of pasta sauce into a medium saucepan and slowly heat over low heat.
By the time the chicken is done baking, the pasta and sauce will be ready. Drain pasta and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place pasta and chicken tenders on a plate and spoon sauce over both. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Steamed veggies or a green salad on the side completes the meal.
