Easy Chicken Parmesan Bread

I need easy dinners. I need easy dinners that please a diverse group. I need easy dinners, that please a diverse group and fill bellies.

As you all know, I am a mother of five. With are family with a large spread of ages, the twins being 19 months old and myself (the oldest) being a number that I will not share.  When cooking, my goal is to please everyone with one recipe. Baby food went out the window rather quickly in replacement of “what the family eats, you eat!” In addition to creating happy taste buds, I also look to fill tummies. Full bellies = happy kids (and a happy husband!) For example, the twins were barely on the growth chart when they were born. They went form 5 lb preemies to soaring above average on height and weight. This home fills stomachs. And don’t let the 19 month old age fool you; these growing boys can eat more than my 11 year old.

This recipe came to me from a friend and I quickly adapted to my easy, efficient lifestyle. Not many ingredients are required and I can quickly put the meal on the table getting the recipe form kitchen to plate in under an hour with very little prep. I don’t mind cook times, just don’t make me too involved in the preparation of the meal!

Did you know?

I have a secret ingredient – don’t tell the kids. We had the opportunity to work with RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauces and I was eager to create our own family version of my friend’s Chicken Parmesan Bread recipe.  I personally found it appealing that these sauces were made with milk and cauliflower, replacing traditional heavy cream.  It contains half the fat of RAGÚ’s Classic Alfredo Sauce, with the same delicious taste and texture. That sounds like a win to me!

Look at these simple ingredients.

Chicken Parmesan Bread Ingredients:

• 1 jar of RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
• Seasoned chicken (we used extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper)
• French bread
• 1/4 Cup butter, melted
• 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 Cups mozzarella cheese

You will need to precook your chicken, but I have no problem with that. As long as there is little prep from me in the kitchen. Look at these easy dinner recipe directions.

Chicken Parmesan Bread Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to the bottom of a baking dish, place the chicken on top and top with a drizzle of EVOO.

Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt and pepper onto the chicken and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce your oven temp to 350 degrees.

Cut your chicken into small bite sized pieces.

Next, cut your French bread in half and then cut each half into half again ( a total of four pieces.)

Place each French bread piece with the crust side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Mix your butter and garlic together and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.

Brush the garlic butter evenly on the bread.

Add about 3 spoonfuls of RAGÚ Simply Creamy Garlic Parmesan with Cauliflower Sauce of each piece of bread and spread out evenly.

Add cut chicken breasts on top of the sauce.

Top each loaf with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 and enjoy!

Eager to try this Chicken Parmesan Bread recipe yourself?

Save money with your Valpak envelopes. Look for a 75¢ coupon for RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauce and redeem it at your local at Walmart store. At $1.66, that brings the price of this secret ingredient to only 91¢. So half the calories and almost have the price! Sweet.

You could also try another one of the new RAGÚ Simply Creamy sauce flavors. We used Garlic Parmesan but feel free to replace that with their Alfredo sauce.

Pair your Chicken Parmesan Bread with a veggie.

I suggest serving with broccoli or another green. Cook the broccoli in the oven with your bread (350, 30 to 35 minutes) prepping with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. You could use any extra sauce to serve over the broccoli, as well.

Don’t let the busy weeknight get you down. These Family-friendly Sheet Pan Suppers are easy dinner recipes for individuals on the go!

Family Sheet Pan Suppers

When the twins were born (my fourth and fifth children) my family and I went an entire year with Crock-Pot Dinners. I kid you not. With the exception of a few meals and perhaps and occasion dinner out, the slow cooker became my best friend. It was easy and efficient, especially when my hand were full. Telling a friend this fun fact, she stopped my rut, by reminding of sheet pan suppers!

Imagine your entire supper with only one pan to clean – yep these Family Sheet Pan Suppers feed a family of four or more with only one pan for clean up! As you Family Sheet Pan Suppers Dinner Recipes, look for five things we think you NEED when perfecting the most delicious sheet pan meal.

Sheet Pan Tip 2: I don’t do dishes. Okay, I do if they go in the dish washer. Parchment Paper and Aluminium Foil is my go to hack when making sheet pan suppers. Yes, everything looks better on Pinterest without a liner, but you aren’t making a Pinterest supper. Invest in both. If you are getting Parchment Paper Sheets (you can’t go wrong with 200 sheets), grab a larger size and cut down. It’s annoying when they are too small for the pan and you end up cleaning anyways!
