Chicken Parmesan With Croutons

I LOVE delicous food.  What I love more than delicious food, is easy to make delicious food.  With two crazy boys who never stop I don't have time to make luxurious meals every single night.  This recipe was both easy, and delicious.  It seriously took less than ten minutes to throw together, and then about 40 minutes to cook.  This is a dish everyone should try!  I truly hit the jackpot with this one!  Oh, there is a video on how to make it at the website I found it on if you are interested: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/02/end-of-chicken-parmesan-as-you-know-it.html



Ingredients:
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil (I used 3 HUGE chicken breasts.  You can use up to about 5 for this dish though)
2 Cloves fresh garlic, minched/chopped/made super small
Dash red pepper flakes
3-5 Chicken breasts
2-3 Cups marinara sauce (aka spaghetti sauce)
1/4 Cup chopped basil.  Fresh is best, but you can just sprinkle dried if you don't have fresh.
2 Cups shredded mozzerella (or any cheese really)
1/2-1 Cup Parmesan cheese
1 (5 oz) Package croutons (I used Garlic and Cheese flavored ones)

Directions:
*Preheat oven to 350*F

*Spray down a baking dish with PAM or any kind of non stick spray.

*Put our oil and garlic into your pan and mix.

*Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top of the garlic.

*Place chicken breasts on top.

*Pour marinara sauce on top of the chicken and spread evenly overtop to cover.

*Sprinkle all of the basil on top of the marinara sauce.

*Put half of each of the cheeses on top of the basil.

*Place all of the croutons on top of the cheese.

*Cover the croutons with the rest of the cheeses.

*Bake for 40 mins or so until the chicken is fully cooked.  Let stand 10 mins to finish cooking fully before serving.
