Chicken and Jeans

So I joined the blogging world in 2007 and I have yet to post a great recipe for you all to try.

This could be because I have only been cooking for about the past 8 months.

But I feel it is time to share one of our favorite recipes.

I got this recipe from a friend at church, and it was one of the first meals I prepared for Luke and I after we first got married. We love it and it is SUPER easy.

Italian Chicken:
1/2 Cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
1/4 Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/8 Tsp Salt
4 Chicken Breasts (boneless and skinless)
1/4 cup Italian Dressing
Vegetable Cooking Spray

I added Italian Seasoning in my picture because I started adding it to my chicken. I'm a big fan of Italian seasoning.

- Preheat Oven to 375

- Combine Breadcrumbs, Parmesan Cheese, and Salt

- Dip chicken in Italian dressing and then cover with the breadcrumb concoction- When the chicken is fully covered place in a lightly sprayed pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes (or until you chicken is no longer PINK)
There are only two chicken breasts because I just make enough for me and Luke. We are horrible at eating leftovers and I hate to waste food. So if at all possible I try to make just enough for us

- Take chicken out of the oven and spray with vegetable cooking spray and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until done (I always thought this was a bit weird, but I just went with it, I'm not sure what the purpose is, just do it)

I forgot to take a picture of the final project (because I was famished) but we served ours with red potatoes.

Usually we serve this with either potatoes, or some type of pasta. You can do so much with it!

My cute little tester: By the way those were his hands in the pictures. I did not want to get yucky poultry juice on my camera so I asked for his assistance. I do not have man hands.After dinner we headed to the mall because I realized my Express coupon expired today and I wanted to get some new jeans.

Express is my absolute favorite store, but I refuse to buy anything full price. They constantly have sales and I am always getting coupons in the mail.

I got two pair of jeans for $85!! I was excited about that!!

Yay for a great night of chicken and new jeans!
