Steps:
- Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from pan. Pour water into the pan, while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more water if needed to dislodge the browned bits; serve alongside chicken.

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.

Tips:
- To ensure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- For a crispy skin, make sure to pat the chicken dry before baking. You can also brush the skin with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
- If you're using a baking dish that's too small, the chicken will crowd together and won't cook evenly. Make sure to use a baking dish that's large enough to accommodate the chicken pieces without overcrowding.
- To make sure the sauce is flavorful, use a good quality broth. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or vegetables, to taste.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce after it has been cooked. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then whisk it into the sauce and cook until thickened.
Conclusion:
Baked chicken with light sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.
