Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts, cut in strips.

4-5 tbsp. butter

1 cup flour

1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. seasoning salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 tsp paprika

Directions

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place butter on a large baking sheet and place in the oven to melt (once the butter is melted, remove it from the oven so it doesn't burn).

2) Combine all ingredients besides chicken and butter in a large ziplock bag. Add the chicken and shake to coat.

3) Place the chicken on the buttered baking sheet, leaving a space between each strip. Bake 10 minutes, flip over gently and bake another 10-12 minutes.

4) Be sure to check to make sure the chicken is cooked, as thickness can affect baking time. You want it to be done but not overcooked. Bake another 5-10 minutes if needed.

5) Remove to a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any excess grease. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Garlic ( about 10-12 cloves)

3 (15oz ea.) cans of tomato sauce

1 lb. of pasta (any type you want)

Olive Oil

Cumin

Oregano

Parsley Flakes

2) Heat the olive oil

3) Add the garlic to the olive oil and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes. So you get the flavor of the garlic. (You can smash the garlic open a little to release the juice if you want)

4) Do not burn the garlic, it will turn a little brown which is ok, but don't burn it.

5) Remove the "cooked" garlic and throw it away. Don't worry the flavor is still there.

6) Add the 3 cans of sauce.

7) Add the seasonings - how much depends on your taste. You can always add more about 10 minutes after its been cooking.

8) Put it on medium to low heat and let it simmer.

9) Cook the pasta while the sauce is cooking.

10) When the pasta is done, the sauce should be done as well. Add to pasta and enjoy.
