Steps:
- The morning or the night before serving, combine Italian dressing, ranch dressing, 3 tablespoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large zip lock bag. Squish bag around to combine all ingredients. Add chicken breasts to bag, close and squish until they are well coated in the dressing mixture. Put the bag in bowl (to prevent spills) and refrigerate all day or overnight up 24 hours. When ready to cook, Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Then mix 2 cups Parmesan cheese, with parsley, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the basil and oregano (each). Spray a large baking dish (big enough for all six breasts) with olive oil cooking spray. Remove chicken from baggie one by one and "dredge" in the cheese and spice mixture, until thoroughly coated in cheese mixture. Then place chicken in a single layer in the dish. When all chicken is coated, place chicken in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until the internal temp is 155 degrees fahrenheit. While chicken bakes, in a large non stick sauce pan, make the sauce. Spray sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray (or use 1 tablespoon olive oil but do not use another flavor spray). Then saute onions and remaining garlic until tender and onions are translucent. Add tomato paste and tomato sauce to garlic and onions. Stir until smooth. Then add the remaining, oregano and basil and the other spices including the bay leaf. (At this point if sauce looks to thick for your liking add 1 tomato sauce can of water) Allow to simmer for the remainder of the baking time until you need it. When chicken has baked 20 minutes, remove from oven and top each breast with sauce (to your liking, we cover the whole thing) then top with 1/4 cup of Mozzarella cheese (again to your liking) put baking dish back into the oven for 10 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Then switch your broiler on to brown cheese (optional). Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve it up, I have never had anyone not finish this!

QUICK BAKED 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 chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN (NO BREADING)
This is the way we like our chicken parmesan -- I get rave reviews everytime I serve it and always get asked for the recipe! It is a really easy recipe -- but you do need to do some of your prep the morning (or night before) you plan to serve it. Also, to shroten time, use already prepared marinara sauce. We don't like the way it tastes, so I always make mine at home, but if you like it, I think it would be just fine. Or a lot of the time, I make a huge batch of the marinara sauce and keep it in the fridge so I have it handy for this recipe, pizza or spaghetti. So you could make it the night before and then just bring it to room temp before cooking. The list of ingredients looks long (and I guess it is) but this is a really simple dish to prepare.

Steps:
- Arrange racks in top and bottom of oven and place a rimmed baking sheet on bottom rack; preheat to 450°F.
- Beat eggs in a large shallow bowl. Using a fork or your fingertips, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, 3 Tbsp. oil, 3 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in another large shallow bowl or plate.
- Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dip in egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, shaking off excess, then pressing to adhere. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
- Carefully remove preheated baking sheet from oven and generously brush with oil. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and return to bottom rack. Roast 6 minutes, then carefully flip (use a spatula to scrape under cutlets) and sprinkle with mozzarella. Place baking sheet on top rack and continue to roast until juices run clear, mozzarella is melted, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of cutlet registers 165°F, about 4 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add marinara sauce, red pepper flakes (if using), 1/4 cup basil, and remaining 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring, until sauce starts to bubble. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is ready, stirring occasionally, at least 5 minutes.
- Divide sauce among 4 plates. Top with chicken and torn basil.

Tips:
- Use a combination of Italian herbs and spices to create a flavorful and authentic chicken parmesan dish. Oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic are classic choices.
- To achieve a crispy and golden crust, use a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add some bread crumbs or Panko for extra texture.
- Make sure the chicken breasts are pounded thin before baking. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade better.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the chicken pieces are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken parmesan until it is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve the chicken parmesan immediately with your favorite pasta or vegetables.
Conclusion:
No-Breading Baked Chicken Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The chicken is tender and juicy, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve it with your favorite pasta or vegetables, and you have a complete and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
