Dinner at Home

Bitter Greens with Garlic
I'm not sure what kind of greens these are--I bought them at the Sunset Super and didn't check what they were called. However, sauteed in garlic and olive oil and brightened up with a bit of lemon juice they are quite satisfying.

Non-Breaded Chicken Parmasean
This version is made with homemade marinara sauce and lots of cheese and the chicken is not breaded.

-6 chicken breasts
-1/2 cup parmasean
-1/2 cup cheddar

Sauce:
-2 cans diced tomatos
-1/2 onion, diced
-8 cloves garlic, peeled
-1 handful fresh basil
-1 ts each marjoram, pepper, parsley and oregano.

Sautee the onions and garlic until slightly browned. Add the rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Puree with an immersion blender and season with salt.

Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce on top, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes on 375. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
