Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe). 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 chicken over pasta with additional sauce.
