KITTENCAL'S GREEK CHICKEN MARINADE
This make a wonderful marinade for chicken, plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade for 6 hours, no more than the stated time or the vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken --- use only honey or pure maple syrup this is what contributes to tenderizing the chicken, sugar will not have the same effect.

KITTENCAL'S EASY MARINADE FOR GRILLED CHICKEN
If you are in a hurry and want a great marinade for chicken this is it! marinade for about 6-8 hours, no longer than 8 hours as the vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken.... I find that Kraft Italian is the best for this and by the sounds of it this marinade works on beef too so you might want to give that a try!

KITTENCAL'S EASY AND DELICIOUS RANCH-PARMESAN CHICKEN
There are plenty versions of this recipe, this is mine and can be on your table in less that an hour, my family loves this chicken! --- the ranch dressing is the secret it holds in all the flavor and moistness while the chicken is baking and also adds flavor, I find that Hidden Valley Ranch dressing works the best but Kraft or any other brand will do, I sometimes top the baked chicken with mozzarella cheese or cheddar, but that is optional --- although I have only made this using breasts I imagine that chicken pieces could be used although you would have to increase the breadcrumb mixture slightly, you can marinate the chicken breast in the ranch dressing for a few hours in the fridge, although you will need more than 1 cup of dressing if you are marinating .... *NOTE* to avoid a soggy bottom crust, place the chicken breasts onto a flat rack on top the baking sheet, also it is important not to bake the chicken in a small baking pan, if you do not have a rack bake on a large baking sheet so any juices in the pan will spread out and not accumulate under the chicken causing a soggy bottom --------------- FOR LOW-FAT OPTION: use low-fat Ranch dressing and omit the melted butter on top or use a healthy butter alternative such as Smart Balance 50/50 blend.

KITTENCAL'S CHICKEN PARMESAN (LOW-FAT AND DELICIOUS!)
Use you own favorite meatless marinara sauce for this, I use my recipe#136292 --- if you are serving the chicken with pasta you may want to keep some extra sauce warm on top of the stove --- to save some time the chicken may be made up to step#9 cooled and refrigerated until ready to continue with the recipe which makes this the perfect dish to serve at a dinner party :)

- Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (cooking time should take no more than 30 minutes or the chicken will be dry).

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts cook evenly, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand that you enjoy.
- If you don't have a skillet that is oven-safe, you can transfer the chicken and sauce to a baking dish before baking.
- To get a crispy breadcrumb coating, make sure the chicken is well coated in eggs and breadcrumbs before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Serve the chicken parmesan with your favorite sides, such as spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
This skillet chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful, and the breadcrumb coating is crispy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
