Naked Chicken Parmesan. In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is.
Serve it over pasta, zucchini noodles, roasted veggies or with a large salad to keep it on the lighter side.

I cooked so much Italian(ish) food my first year of marriage that I'm surprised we didn't end up speaking with Sicilian(ish) accents. Most often I turned to quick and easy pasta recipes. Let cool slightly; top with basil, if using. Combine parmesan cheese, parsley, basil and oregano in a baggie.
