Easy Family Meal Idea: Michael Angelo’s® Chicken Parmigiana With A Side of Mixed Greens And Garlic Bread
With the kids back in school and extracurricular activities in full swing, there are some nights that don’t allow a lot of time to make a family meal. Other times, my husband will have an evening engagement and I want to just keep the cooking simple when it is only the three of us eating without him. Whatever the case, Michael Angelo’s is a perfect solution for your busy life and gets you a wholesome and authentic Italian meal that your family will love.
You just need a few things for this easy family meal: a family size Michael Angelo’s® Chicken Parmigiana, mixed greens, and a loaf of fresh bread.
Easy Mixed Greens Salad And Garlic Bread
To make your side salad:
- Pour mixed greens in a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Top with a few apple or pear slices for a festive fall feel. (optional)
- Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Toss with an Italian vinaigrette.
To make garlic bread:
- Cut baguette in half the long way. Or you can use sliced bread.
- Mix butter in a bowl with a couple of pressed garlic cloves and slather onto bread.
- Toast until edges begin to get golden.
There you have it. An easy family favorite meal, ready in just a short time with minimal preparation!
Michael Angelo’s® Chicken Parmigiana
The star of this easy family meal is the chicken parmigiana. Lucky for you, Michael Angelo’s does all the work here.
Their Italian-style recipes and kitchen-crafted meals are made with simple ingredients specially selected and cooked to bring out their full flavor. They don’t use any artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. That way you get full, vibrant, homemade tastes in every bite. We just love the breaded chicken breast with vine-ripened tomato sauce, Spaghettini pasta, mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. The only thing I have to do is put it in the oven! And you will feel great serving it to your family.
How To Make Chicken Parmigiana
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 400°F.
- REMOVE ENTRÉE FROM CARTON. PLACE TRAY ON COOKIE SHEET ON CENTER RACK OF OVEN (6-8″ FROM HEATING ELEMENT). COOK WITH FILM ON FOR 35-45 MINUTES.
- CAREFULLY REMOVE ENTRÉE FROM OVEN.
- REMOVE FILM AND LET STAND FOR 2 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING.
Or you can place tray in the microwave with film on and cook for 12-14 minutes. Then, remove film and allow to stand 2 minutes before serving.
So, while your oven is doing all the work, you can mix up an easy salad and some garlic bread.
Where to Buy Michael Angelo’s Frozen Meals
You can find these easy meals in the freezer section of your local grocery store. Where I live in Nashville, Tennessee, I can find them at Publix, Kroger, Target, and Walmart Supercenters. They come in single serve and family size. They pair perfectly with warm garlic bread or a fresh salad.
Don’t you just love chicken Parmigiana? It is such a delicious dish. Really great comfort food that is also wholesome.
