Chicken and Spaghetti

Years ago Albertson's had a promotion going on.  They had recipe cards with meal ideas all through out the store next to the ingredients that were in the specific recipes.  It was called "Quick Fixin' Ideas".  I loved going to the store and collecting the cards and seeing if there was anything new each time.  This is one of the recipes I picked up there and it stuck.  This recipe is kid friendly and fast to make and we usually have all the ingredients in our pantry.  The original name of the recipe was Chicken Strips Italiano, but that was too fancy for us.  We just call it Chicken and Spaghetti.

8oz. uncooked linguine or spaghetti, cook to desired doneness

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 

1/2 cup Progresso Bread Crumbs

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

2 cups Classico Pasta Sauce, heated

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Heat oven to 375F.  In small bowl, combine cheese and bread crumbs; mix well.  Place salad dressing in small bowl.  Dip chicken breasts in salad dressing; place in bread crumb mixture and toss to coat evenly.  Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart.  Bake chicken breasts at 375F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer pink in center.  Slice chicken into strips.  To serve drain hot pasta; spoon onto 4 plates.  Top each with hot pasta sauce and chicken strips.  Serve with freshly baked Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.
