And finally, it is delicious. Chicken Parmesan is such a treat, but often a time-consuming job with many dishes to wash.

My favorite sauce to use is Presto Roasted Garlic and Herb. There are several big name brands that are delicious. Use your favorite.

For the cheese I like the Kraft 5 Cheese Italian. Again, use your favorite and make this recipe work best for you and your family.

Ingredients

▢ 1 ½ pounds Chicken Tenders more chicken could be used
▢ ½ cup Panko
▢ ½ cup Bread Crumbs
▢ ½ teaspoon Salt to taste
▢ ¼ teaspoon Pepper
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
▢ 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
▢ 1 jar Prego Roasted Garlic and Herb Sauce or your favorite sauce
▢ 1 cup Kraft Italian Shredded 5 Cheese Blend or your favorite cheese blend

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together panko, bread crumbs, Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Mix well.
Coat the chicken with the breading. I usually mix the ingredients together and shake the chicken in a plastic bag.
Lightly oil the bottom of a large baking sheet. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven. Bake for about 12 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven, flip over if you like. Pour the sauce over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with the cheese. Place back into the oven.
Continue to bake until the sauce is warmed, the cheese has melted, and the chicken has reached at least 165 degrees.
Dinner is ready!
