Ingredients:

1.5 lbs chicken breast tenders
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teas garlic salt
1/2 teas garlic powder
1/4 teas ground black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
1 jar (1 lb. 10 oz.) spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, garlic powder, and pepper. In a small bowl, mix egg and milk. Cut chicken tenders into 1.5 inch cubes. Dip chicken cubes in egg/milk mixture, and then roll in bread crumb mixture.

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Pan fry chicken pieces until browned, approx. 4 minutes on both side.

While chicken is cooking, prepare ziti per package directions until al dente.

When chicken is done, remove from heat and let sit on a paper towel.

When ziti is done cooking, drain and pour into greased (Pam) 9x14 pan. Pour spaghetti sauce over pasta, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Arrange chicken in single layer over pasta. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over chicken, and bake in 350 F oven for 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese melted.
