Making School Night Meals Simple (aka MOM WIN!)

School nights are no joke at our house! Between homework x5, late night meetings, chores, last minute errands, pets, sports, music lessons, and running club, dinner is the last thing in my schedule I need to be complicated. Last night I was so grateful for Courtney's blog on quick and easy chicken Parmesan dinner at mycrazysavings.com . With it's 5 simple ingredients and quick prep to table time, I think ya'll will love it too!

(Recipe from mycrazysavings.com)
Ingredients: 
6 Tyson Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Tenders
1 1/2 cups Hunt's Tomato Sauce
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
6 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb Spaghetti, cooked and drained
1 cup Hunt's Tomato Sauce
*I added Italian spices to give it a little more flare for my family's liking!

1. Prepare the chicken in oven according to package directions
2. Top each chicken tender with 1/4 cup heated tomato sauce, 2 Tbsp mozzarella cheese and 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese.
3. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted
4. Serve over cooked and sauced pasta

*We always substitute spaghetti squash for traditional spaghetti noodles to keep carbs low and add in more veggies. I just microwave it and find it easier than boiling water.


Alongside a tossed salad made from our bountiful basket pick up over the weekend and we were all set with a quick and healthy meal that everyone LOVED!! We are definitely qualifying this meal as a MOM WIN!!
