Chicken Parmesan

I was appalled that Kroger's (the one next to Lowes on West Broad) didn't have any garlic bread. At first I thought, ok so they don't have Colombo garlic bread .. but they had to stock something either in the bakery or frozen food section. Nothing!! In my opinion, no pasta dish is complete without garlic bread on the side..

Luckily we found a great alternative. Pillsbury makes these garlic and buttered flavored crescent rolls... They came out light and fluffy!!!

Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts
Egg
Italian Bread Crumbs
Kraft parmesan cheese (bottle)
Garlic
Sliced mozzarella
Olive Oil
Thin Spaghetti
Prego Traditional
Diced Tomatoes
Tomato Paste
Siracha Sauce
Sugar

1. Chicken:
- Mix bread crumbs and Kraft parmesan cheese in a large bowl
- Beat one egg into a separate smaller bowl
- (i like to cut my chicken breasts horizontally, this way they don't get chewy and tough)
- Dip chicken into egg and then into crumbs and cheese mixture
- place chicken into a pyrex
- add in more bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
- add in smashed garlic cloves
- drench chicken and garlic with olive oil
- cover with foil
- place into preheated oven (375-400 degrees) for about 15-2o minutes
- When almost cooked, place slices of mozzarella on over the chicken
- put chicken back into the oven for about 2-3 minutes
2. Sauce
- 2 tblspns olive oil in saucepan
- add in minced garlic
- drain and add diced tomatoes
