Ingredients
  

  • olive oil
  • 4-6 Chicken Tenders
  • salt and papper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups marinara sauce or diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp dried basil leaves or 2 tbsp chopped fresh
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven at broil and put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to coat the bottom. When the skillet heats up put in the chicken tenders and spread them out.
    Salt, pepper and garlic powder both sides and cook them about 2-4 minutes a side depending on their size. When the juices running out are clear and/or they read 165° on an instant read meat thermometer  they are ready for the next step.
     
  • Which is, cover them with some marinara sauce or canned crushed tomatoes or in a pinch you could use sliced or diced fresh tomatoes. Sprinkle a little dried basil, some mozzarella cheese, and some grated parmesan cheese.  Then, lightly drizzle with a little olive oil. Under the broiler it goes!
    When the cheese has melted as much as YOU want it melted then take it out of the oven.
    And, serve it up!
     
     
  • After dinner I put the extra chicken tenders parmesan in zip loc's and into the freezer. For the future!
