If you could learn any subject from any person in the world -- living or dead -- what would you learn, and from whom?

This simple baked chicken recipe is perfect for busy families. You can even start marinating the chicken in the morning, which makes evening dinner preparation a snap. To get your kids involved, have them stir the breadcrumb mixture or sprinkle the mozzarella cheese!

Kids can also help out by preparing homemade salad dressing for the marinade. Check out our infinitely variable vinaigrette for recipes.

For an extra twist, add a pasta of your choosing!
