Chicken Parmesian in under 5 Minutes

I was inspired to write this after doing it my self this afternoon. I hadn't ate since breakfast and wanted something fast but still tasting good and definitely not McDonalds. I looked through the fridge and the cabinets and found I had some frozen chicken strips, mozzarella cheese and some spaghetti sauce... 

Ingredients
  1. Precooked, grilled or breaded chicken strips (depending on how healthy you want to be). I personally had some of the frozen redi-serve breaded strips which are cheap but taste pretty good and are low fat. Another good choice would be Tyson's
  2. Cheese. You can pretty much use whatever kind you'd like. Mozzerella is personally my favorite, however standard pre sliced american white cheese taste pretty good as well. 
  3. Spaghetti Sauce. The Prego 'Smart Onion and Garlic' is one of my favorites.
Directions (for a single serving)
  1. Depending on the size of the chicken strips you use, place 2-5 on a Microwave safe plate. 
  2. Heat these on standard for about 2.5-3 minutes or until they are about 75% of the way cooked.
  3. Next, cover each chicken strip with about 1-2 table spoons of spaghetti sauce or until fully covered.
  4. Now, take 1-2 standard slices of cheese or slice enough to cover about 50% of each chicken strip. I normally use 1 piece of the pre sliced, so I'll usually cut it in 2.
  5. Now finish heating the strips for about 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Let sit for about a minute, then dig in!!
