Tomato Chicken Parmesan
I've now made this recipe on several occasions and it certainly doesn't disappoint. It's quick, simple and very very tasty. Also apparently perfect for those last minute dinner guests. I served with multigrain penne (tossed with garlic, olive oil and chopped fresh parsley) and zucchini. My 5 year old is also a big fan.

Mom's Chicken Cacciatore
This is a great recipe, but with a few modifications. Firstly, do NOT skip the flouring process, it really does give the chicken pieces a nice golden brown appearance. And I'd recommend olive oil over vegetable oil, for obvious reasons. I left out the green peppers but added a small can of sliced black olives. For full flavor and the most tender chicken, cook in a covered casserole dish in the oven at a medium heat for about an hour. Serve over white rice with steamed broccolini on the side.

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic
Everyone enjoyed this, even my 5 year old. I took suggestions from other reviewers and didn't flour the chicken...I'm glad I didn't, it turned out perfectly and very tender. I also used portabello mushrooms, they have a great flavor and don't go "soggy" like regular mushrooms. Finally, I would definitely recommend sticking with the 1/4 cup of balsamic vingar as called for in the original recipe. I was just shy of the 1/4 cup because I was worried about it being too tart (based on other reviews). It definitely requires the quarter cup for full flavor. I served with wild rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. A very simple and quick recipe, light in calories and full in flavor = a keeper
