Chicken Parmesan

Sometimes a quick dinner is what I'm after. With only 5 ingredients and 20 minutes you too can have dinner on the table in the blink of an eye thanks to frozen breaded chicken breast tenderloins. What's great about this meal is the clean up. Quick and simple.

I served the Chicken Parmesan over simple olive oil noodles but a side salad with a vinaigrette would be nice as well. I think it would make a fantastic sandwich too. Everyone in my household loved this meal and went back for seconds.
