While summertime is typically associated with light meals and easy-to-prep ingredients, fall brings on a bounty that inspires crave-worthy, rich feasts. I used to associate heartier meals with greater effort, but, thanks to Walmart’s affordable and vast range of ingredients along with their convenient grocery pickup and delivery services, my family can enjoy the feasts of fall every night.
One of our favorites is my take on Chicken Parmesan cooked in Prego Pasta Sauce. Since it uses only five main ingredients, prep takes less than five minutes, giving you more time with your family. Here are my tips on keeping it easy.
Incorporate Vegetables without Hassle
Instead of using pasta as the base of this dish, I love the pre-cut frozen zoodles available at Walmart. It saves me the hassle of peeling and prepping vegetables, while still allowing my family to get the nutrition they need.
Embrace the Pre-Prepped Selections
Walmart has pre-packaged chicken breasts are thin cut, for more even cooking. Since they’re individually vacuum sealed, you save the risk of freezer burn if you want to store the leftover chicken portions.
Opting for pre-sliced Great Value Provolone Cheese and shredded Great Value Italian Style Cheese will also cut down on prep and cleanup time.
Start with an Excellent Base and Get Creative
While Prego Pasta Sauce is rich and comforting on its own, there are many ways to add a personal touch. I like to pour in a quarter of a cup of red wine to enhance the flavor profile of the sauce, giving it a richer finish. You can also incorporate shredded Parmesan cheese or even a leftover Parmesan rind to add salty and umami undertones to the sauce. Sprinklingin a tablespoon of chili pepper flakes is a great way to add some subtle heat.
