Tuesday - - Zesty Chicken BBQ - Crock Pot that I found over at Motherhood for Dummies. It looks amazing and I'm always up for a new crock pot dish!

• 1/2 cup fat-free Italian dressing (can use Zesty Italian also)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 TBS lemons juice
• You also add what ever veggies you want (olives, onions, mushrooms, chives. I like to just throw in what extra veggies I have)

1. Place chicken in the crock pot. In a bowl mix the BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and veggies all together. Pour over chicken

2. Cover and cook 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low.

Friday - - Cheesy Chicken Parmesan. I found this on a spaghetti sauce container awhile back and have been wanting to try it out!

• 1 beaten egg
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 26 oz spaghetti sauce
• 6 slices mozzarella cheese
• optional chopped parsley

Place egg and parmesan cheese in separate shallow bowls. Dip each chicken breast fillet in egg, then cheese, coating well. Heat oil in large skillet over med-high heat. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink and cheese coating is golden brown. Remove from skillet; set aside. Wipe remaining oil from skillet.

Pour sauce into skillet. Arrange chicken in sauce. Spoon some sauce over each piece of chicken and top each with a slice of cheese. Heat, covered, over mid heat about 5 minutes, or until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
