EASY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN

6 chicken tenders (or 2-3 breasts)
salt & pepper
1 jar of your favorite marinara/spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 servings (about 8 oz. - which is about half a box) of cooked pasta

pour marinara sauce in an oven-safe baking dish.
lightly season chicken with salt & pepper.
then nestle the chicken into the sauce, covering it completely with sauce.
top with mozzarella cheese and cover loosely with foil.
Bake @ 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is good and melted. Serve on top of cooked pasta.

Thanks to Kristi Lydon (Washington) for the recipe!!
