Healthier Chicken Parm and Pasta

Chicken Parm:

1pkg chicken tenderloins
1 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 jar pasta sauce

Grill chicken on a grill pan and season with garlic powder and season all generously until seared on both sides. In an 8x8 pan smear pasta sauce lightly on the bottom. Add seared tenders. Top with one tablespoon of sauce on each. Cover with cheese. Place foil on top and bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.


Pasta:

1 box frozen creamed spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, chopped
olive oil
1/2 box angel hair pasta

In the meantime, lightly oil a large sauce pan and place the frozen creamed spinach in the pan to cook. (medium high) chop and add both tomatoes, add more oil. Add the minced garlic to the pan. Let everything come together and add more oil to loosen the sauce as needed. Prepare the pasta as directed. Using tongs, lift the pasta directly out of the water and into the sauce pan to toss. Top with left over cheese and serve with chicken.
