Quick Easy Chicken Parmesan

This post is basically how I made dinner for my family of 4 for $8.  Yep...I typed that right...$8.00!! That included the chicken parmesan, salad, and crescent rolls.

I will start with, I am not an extreme couponer.  But I do try to find deals when and where I can.  I got chicken real cheap a few weeks ago (like $1.99/lb and since we get a military discount I got it for $1.79/lb).  I got the pasta for $0.39 a box using a coupon and it was on sale. I got the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes on sale for $0.88 each.  The crescents I got on sale with a coupon as well a few weeks ago and were $1.76.  I already had the cheese leftover and the salad I got fresh from my garden. Hope you like this recipe...we loved it !
