Broken lasagna noodles are used to make the pasta "rags" in this chicken dish. What a delicious way to use those pasta odds and ends!


   CHICKEN
   3 cloves garlic, minced
   1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
   3 tablespoons olive oil
   1 tablespoon butter
   1/2 cup garlic-herb dry bread crumbs
   2 ounces (1/2 cup) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
   1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves or thighs
   
   PASTA
   8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into random 2-inch pieces
   1/4 cup olive oil
   1 clove garlic, minced
   1 (9-ounce) package frozen spinach in a pouch, thawed, drained
   1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
   1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
   
   GARNISH, IF DESIRED
   Fresh basil sprigs
   Shaved Parmesan cheese


Heat oven to 475°F. In shallow microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, 3 tablespoons oil and the butter. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until butter is melted; stir to mix.
