Greek Perogies - Deconfusified

Today the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the wind was gusting away.So even though I would love nothing better than to relax, dinner doesn't make itself. After lining a baking sheet with foil, I emptied a bag of frozen perogies onto it. Use enough cooking spray to lightly coat them, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and seasonings. I used a Greek mix that I found the last time I was at the store. Toss them in the oven for 20 minutes at 350.A dash of olive oil, a few slices of pepper, a splash of Greek dressing, tomato pulp and chicken strips went in the pan while the perogies were baking. Cook on high heat so that the chicken browns nicely.
The perogies should be done by this point. Top with a touch of mozzarella and feta cheese, and return to oven for another 5-7 minutes.
Layer the chicken on top of the perogies. Add chopped tomato and pepper with extra feta. Use tzatziki sauce if you have it, if not mix liberal shakes of Greek seasoning and black pepper with sour cream.
A refreshing glass of Sangria would go very well with this dish. I didn't have any white wine with me this evening, but last week I had a very nice bottle that I shared with family.
Nothing like giving your great aunt a glass of "Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush!"
