Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the dressing and oil while heating.
Fresh basil or oregano, finely chopped, makes a wonderful addition to this dish.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, a can of diced tomatoes, drained, works perfectly well.
Grilled chicken or shrimp would also be delicious in place of the cooked chicken.
