Chicken Parmesan

dsc01758

I made a very quick and easy chicken parmesan for dinner tonight. I got Perdue chicken cutlets (there were 4 in a package) for $3.99 with a coupon for $1.00 off. I bought a jar of Prego spaghetti sauce and a bag of Kraft shredded mozzarella cheese.

I preheated the oven to 450 degrees F and lined a baking sheet with aluminum foil. I placed the cutlets on the baking sheet and put them in the oven for 5 minutes. Then I took the sheet out and put some mozzarella cheese on the cutlets then spooned on some sauce and topped them with some grated parmesan/romano cheese and put them back in the oven for another 5 minutes.

During the last 5 minutes I put a bag of corn in the microwave to steam for 4 minutes.

It was a delicious, quick dinner. It was better than you could get at the Sahara hotel. I have 2 cutlets left over and it will be easy to pop them in the microwave to reheat for another dinner.

My lasagna

dsc01563Last weekend I made my famous lasagna. It turned out so good that I was wondering if there is a franchise opportunity anywhere for this kind of thing.

Anyway.. here is how I make mine.

1 box of pre-cooked lasagna noodles
1 jar sauce
1 lb hamburger meat
onion
garlic
Parmesan cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese

Put a little olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions and garlic. Then add the hamburger and cook until browned. Add the jar of sauce and stir until just heated.

I use an oblong glass baking dish and put in a little of the sauce/hamburger mixture and spread it evenly in the bottom of the dish. Then take 3 lasagna noodles and place 1 crossways and the other 2 lengthwise next to each other. Do another layer of sauce/hamburger mixture then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and a couple handfuls of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Do another layer of the noodles opposite the way you placed the first ones. (put the crossways one across the lengthwise ones). Do another layer of the sauce/hamburger mixture. Do another layer of the cheeses. Repeat the noodle, sauce/hamburger mixture and cheeses once more.
