    A friend passed along this recipe for parmesan-crusted baked chicken a few years ago, and my family has always enjoyed it. But when I added a little Italian flair to it — noodles, sauce, melted mozzarella — my husband couldn’t stop raving about it. He’s made me promise to make it again soon. I guess it’s true that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

    Actually, he’s even volunteered to make it next time. It’s definitely within his culinary wheelhouse.

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bertolli®. The opinions and text are all mine. Read my full disclosure policy here.

    While traditional parmesan chicken recipes require you to fry the breaded chicken breasts and make a sauce from scratch, mine shortcuts those steps. These shortcuts save both prep time and cleanup time.

    The chicken has a buttery, baked breading and it uses Tuscan-inspired Bertolli® pasta sauce. I always pick up a few jars whenever I’m at Walmart because these sauces are so convenient and so tasty.

    For this easy parmesan chicken recipe, I used the Bertolli® Tomato & Basil sauce — our favorite right out of the jar.

    Once I’ve breaded the chicken breasts by dipping them in butter and a bread crumb and parmesan cheese mixture, I bake them for about 20 minutes. Then, I pull the pan out of the oven and add sauce and fresh mozzarella slices and more sauce. Then, it’s back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so.

    While the cheese is melting, I boil some spaghetti noodles to serve with the chicken.
