Dear Grace   My recipe for~ CHICKEN PARMESAGNA~is:    First: Take it out of the freezer. Second:  Take dinner out of the box. Set                   tomato sauce aside. Third:      Pull back plastic wrap over                 chicken. Fourth:    Heat on high in microwave for 3                 minutes. Fifth:    Add sauce packet. Heat entire                 dinner for 6 minutes. It takes practice and patience, but in time you will all be able to learn it. Just kidding. I don't cook too much and I like it that way.
