Week 13 - Easy Chicken Parm Bake PLUS a bonus item!

Hello all!  Sorry I haven't blogged in 2 weeks, but I was away on vacation and we didn't cook very much while we were away.  For this week I have 2 items to help make up for missing last week.

The first item is Easy Chicken Parm Bake from Allrecipes.com. I actually followed this recipe by video -  http://allrecipes.com/video/311/easy-chicken-parmesan-bake/detail.aspx?prop24=RR_RelatedVideo, but I will also give step-by-step directions.  Ingredients needed include: chicken, tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, olive oil and a bag of croutons.

First, coat your baking dish with some olive oil and garlic (if you want).  Place the chicken in the baking dish. Coat the chicken with tomato sauce, so that the sauce is covering the chicken. Next top with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Next top with croutons! This is the special ingredient :)

Then top again with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. I paired this dish with penne pasta.
Serve and enjoy!

The bonus item I'd like to share is potato wedges - instead of french fries. Very resourceful especially if you have potatoes in the house.  I got this recipe from my mom and it is super easy!

Take 4 potatoes and place in cold water for 15 minutes. This will help soften the potatoes. Then cut the potatoes into wedges. Place potatoes on a greased cookie sheet in a single layer. Top the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes. At this point, flip the potatoes so they are baking evenly. Bake for another 20 and enjoy!!!  We had this treat with our burgers the other night and they were a great addition to our meal!

Stay tuned for next week!!!!  If anyone has any fun recipes, feel free to email me or post on the blog!
