Baked Chicken Parmesan
Source: Skinnytaste.com
Servings: 8 • Calories: 224.5
4 (8 oz) chicken breast halves, sliced in half
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (I used Sargento)
1 cup marinara or Filetto di Pomodoro
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Lightly spray a little more cooking oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, spoon sauce over chicken and top with shredded cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve over pasta of choice.
**Trevor told me that this was better than Olive Garden when we had it for dinner the other day. It really was quite delicious. Tyler couldn't get enough.

Race Around the World
This is the name of Tyler's favorite episode of this show:
We have watched it every day for the last 3 or 4 days, sometimes twice a day. We just recently started watching Backyardigans on Netflix, and have made it through Season 1. Tyler absolutely loves it! He will honestly watch episode after episode, and will laugh hysterically at parts. I don't mind it either, actually. Sometimes the songs aren't the greatest, but it's pretty enjoyable for the most part.
We are all finally starting to feel better after being sick for a week! Trevor missed every day of school last week, and I missed 2 1/2 days of work. It was brutal, but we are done! All that remains is a little tiredness and coughing. We are getting caught up on schoolwork, housework and everything else. Being sick is the absolute worst!
