Whenever a dish calls for a bit of vibrancy, this classic Italian herb sauce is a perfect condiment. It's great on virtually all proteins or vegetables - it's harder to think of a dish where it wouldn't work! Traditionally, gremolata calls for chopped garlic as well, but I'm not as partial to the raw garlic flavor in this case. Feel free to add it in! Photo Credit: Lizzy Newman

How do you revamp a classic? Turn all the flavors of a cacciatore into a great tasty marinade, and then roast the marinated chicken on a sheet pan to speed up the cooking time. Marinate the chicken in the morning, and since it only needs 30 minutes in the oven, this is totally doable for a weeknight. I've boosted the seasonings with smoked paprika, which isn't traditional but really amps up the flavor. It's even better served over bread salad (as they do at San Francisco's famed Zuni Café).
