Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken

I got this recipe from a bottle of Kraft Parmesan Cheese. Super easy.

Ingredients:
1/2 c KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese (if you use the shredded instead of the grated it gives it a neat texture)
1 envelope GOOD SEASONS Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix
1/2 tsp garlic powder
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix cheese, salad dressing mix, and garlic powder.
Moisten chicken with water; coat with cheese mixture. Place in shallow baking dish.
Back for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Makes 6 servings.

Meat Biscuit Things - sorry they don't have a name

I got this recipe from a friend of a friend. I think her mother or mother-in-law came up with them. They are essentially sloppy joes in a biscuit muffin with cheese and are usually a great husband pleaser:)

Ingredients:
3/4 lb ground beef
1/2 c ketchup
1 T mustard
2 T brown sugar
1 can biscuits
1/4 c shredded cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brown the beef and drain.
Mix ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar together to make a barbecue sauce.
Add the sauce to the beef.
Separate dough into biscuits.
Form dough into cups on the muffin tins.
Spoon the meat into the dough cups.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes (or until the biscuit dough looks done).
Sprinkle the tops with cheese.
And dinner is served!
