DINNER IN 30 - Day - 14 BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN

Today I got up ready to brave the massive amount of snow that accumulated over night, I had my boots on, my hat on, put on the scarf and was about to put on the coat when my boss called to tell my that we were close today (THANK GOD!!). So what did I do at 7:30am on a Saturday morning I call Taj hoping she was up, and YES she was! I was so full of energy this morning I could not go back to sleep. Taj and I kicked it on the phone for about 2hrs then she had to go get ready for her day. I made myself a quick breakfast, open up my blind to watch the snow fall while I lounge on the couch. I must have feel asleep because the next thing I knew it was after 2pm. I got up made myself a HUGE drink and watch 2 movies on Demand ( District 9 and Inglorious Bastards). By the time the movies were over I was ready for dinner. I had thaw out some chicken early so I decided to make BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN. It was an tasty easy meal, I give it a 5; I hope you enjoy it.
