Chicken Parmesan- Thanks April (and her friend)
1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast.
1 26 oz can spag sauce. (I use the four cheese or Italian flavored Del Monte)
2 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese.
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs. I use Italian style. (You can also use croutons.)
½ cube margarine melted.
8 oz spag noodles.
In bowl combine cheese and bread crumbs. Melt margarine in a separate bowl. Then take your chicken breasts and cut them into thirds. Place spag sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Dip chicken breasts in margarine, then roll in cheese mixture and place in pan. Pour any extra cheese mixture on top and cover with tinfoil. Place in oven for 45 min at 350. Cook noodles as directed. Serve over noodles with French bread or Parmesan rolls.

Coconut Chicken fingers
3 chicken breasts cut into finger slices
3/4 cup of flour
1 ranch mix packet
1 pkg of coconut
3-4 eggs
In 3 seperate bowls:
- mix the flour and ranch together
- beat the eggs in their own bowl
- pour the coconut in its own bowl
This sounds backwards but this is how you do it: dip the chicken strip in the flour ranch mix first, then the egg, then the coconut
Repeat this with each strip and cook in either your deep fryer or a deep fry pan with hot oil in it. You will know it is done when the coconut looks golden brown
As a dipping sauce:
Mix musterd and honey together for your sauce- Yummy!

Dust the chicken generously with poultry seasoning. Sprinkle garlic around and inside the bird. If you like you can slide cloves beneath the skin on the breast.

Roast about 20 minutes per pound.
