As inspired as I normally am to make a healthy, delicious meal for my family sometimes I just open the refrigerator and freezer and say—ugh! Today was an ugh day. As I perused the contents so I could get on with my day, some left over chicken tenders caught my eye. I took a quick walk to the pantry surveyed its contents as well, saw a jar of sauce and some angel hair pasta—Voilà, this task was done!

It all starts with this delicious recipe: Friday Night “Fast Food” Parmesan Chicken Tenders.

Chicken Tender Nirvana

Ingredients

10-12Leftover or Fresh Friday Night "Fast Food" Parmesan Chicken Tenders-Recipe link in article.
23 ozJar Favorite Spaghetti Sauce
2Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1Box Angel Hair Pasta

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If you are using leftover tenders heat them first for about 10 minutes. Heat the spaghetti sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Layer the chicken tenders in single rows on the bottom of a baking dish. Pour some sauce on top of each tender, reserving some sauce for later. Add the cheese on top and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is melted.
In the meantime cook your pasta according to package directions.
When your Chicken Tender Parmesan is done, remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Arrange a serving of the pasta on your plate and add some of the sauce you reserved on top. Place as many now parmesan tenders and cheese on top as you like. Sprinkle on a little parsley, some parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste! You probably won't need much salt as the sauce and cheese already contain enough. Enjoy!
