Chicken Parmigiana
It sounds fancy, but this chicken breast dish is very easy to prepare. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Now line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup and place the desired number of boneless skinless chicken breasts on the baking sheet.

Variation: If you prefer your chicken breaded, you can dip the chicken in egg and then in bread crumbs before placing it on the baking sheet.

This is very similar to Chicken Parmigiana but you use picante sauce instead of spaghetti sauce. To bake this chicken breast dish, simply follow the instructions for the Chicken Parmigiana but switch to picante and use only mozzarella cheese, not Parmesan.

For this dish, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment or foil. Place four boneless skinless chicken breast halves in the baking dish.

Now sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of the chicken and drizzle 3 tablespoons melted butter over the crumbs. Cover the dish and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes.
Oven Roasted Stuffed Chicken Breasts
