2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh Parmesan

For the sauce, in a medium saucepan, combine the onions and
 the 1 tablespoon water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 
for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If necessary, add more water 
during cooking to prevent the onions from browning.) Stir in the

vinegar, oregano, thyme, garlic and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then
reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently simmer, uncovered, about

discard the bay leaf. Meanwhile, spray an unheated large skillet with
 no-stick spray. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Rinse the chicken
