Quicky, easy and full of flavor, this Italian main dish requires just a few ingredients and simple steps to prepare from start to finish. Finish the chicken beneath a broiler instead of in the microwave, if you wish, for golden, bubbly melted cheese. Low-sugar prepared marinara is an easy convenience that is fine to use here. You won't need the whole jar of sauce. Save it to spoon into omelets, fold into meatloaf, or to create a quick veggie saute in the same pan while the chicken is in the microwave or beneath the broiler. Just toss quick-cooking diced vegetables such as summer squash, seeded bell peppers or eggplant in the pan you used to brown the chicken. Add 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce for every 2 cups of veggies. Simmer over medium heat, cover and cook until veggies are just cookied through about 5 minutes.
