Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:
4 small chicken breasts
1/2-1 c. yogurt
1 tube Ritz crackers
2 T. parmesan Cheese
1 t. basil
1 t. garlic salt
4 thick slices mozzarella cheesee
spaghetti noodles

Marinara Sauce:
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 small can tomato juice
1 t. basil
1 t. oregano
1 t. parsley
1/2 t. marjoram
1/4 c. brown sugar
4 cloves garlic

It is best to cover chicken breasts in yogurt and chill in fridge over night. Usually I forget and end up just putting it in for 20 minutes or so.

Mash up crackers I used Wheat Thins because I didn't have any Ritz. Ritz are MUCH BETTER. Mix in parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic salt.
Dip chicken breasts in cracker mixture and put on cookie sheet. Put in oven for 35-40 minutes (or until no longer pink) at 350 degrees.
While chicken is baking make your marinara sauce. You could also just open a jar of spaghetti sauce if you didn't want to make it. Pour all ingredients into a big skillet/pot. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low and let simmer until chicken is done.
During last 10 minutes of cooking time boil the pasta.

During the last 5 minutes of baking time, spread a mozzarella cheese slice on top of chicken breasts and let melt.
Most people like to put the chicken breast right on top of the spaghetti and then smother it all in red sauce. Me, I'm a little different...
Enjoy!
