Instant Chicken Parmigiana


Staying home and watching the Food Network really gives someone the most intense, sometimes most random cravings! So while I was enjoying my morning on the couch checking emails and with the television permanently fixed on the Food Network, my attention was suddenly focused on the screen ad they showed a close-up of a chicken parmigiana dish. I don't remember what show that was but just the sight of that chicken parmigiana immediately made my mouth water. Since it dawned on me that there wasn't any Italian place that was walking distance from Car's place, I decided to try to whip up my own Instant Chicken Parmigiana with just some igredients that you would normally find in your kitchen or pantry.





In the pantry, Car had one big jar of Prego Tomato Sauce
This has become my bestfriend during my SanFo Trip haha





With having leftover Rottiserie Chicken from Cosco..
I cimply cut the breast intro thin slices and Slathered on some tomato sauce





Next is the vital ingedient, Parmesan Cheese
I tried to coat the dish as much as I could





Once that's done, you simply have to cover the plate with Plastic Wrap
and into the microwave it goes for a couple of minutes





While my Chicken Parmigiana was "cooking"
I decided to make a simple creamy tomato pasta to go with it and presto!
after plating the two together..
I had my very own Instant Chicken Parmigiana


It may not taste like the authentic Chicken Parmigiana, but it still had the Italian flavors that I was looking for and I was able to whip it up in an instant :D
