Baked Chicken Parmesan
This is one of those dinners that never lets me down. It’s quick to make, full of flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser. It’s cozy, cheesy, and weeknight-approved.

Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts
1 jar of marinara sauce (I like the brands Rao’s, Sauz, or Carbone)
1 tbsp of avocado or olive oil
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 3 minutes per side, until golden.
Pour the marinara sauce, making sure the chicken is well coated. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Then switch to broil and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Asian Slaw Crunch Salad
This is one of my mom’s infamous salads—and the secret’s in the crunch. Toasted ramen noodles give it the most unexpected (and addictive) bite.
