Mozzarella Chicken Skillet

chicken breasts (cut or pounded to thin cutlets)

garlic powder

tsp salt

tsp pepper

olive oil

oz buffalo mozzarella (sliced)

garlic (pressed)

oz crushed tomatoes ((1 can))

Italian seasoning ((dried))

heavy cream

parmesan cheese

basil (chopped)

Mix the garlic powder, salt, and pepper together and season each side of each chicken breast with it evenly.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, place chicken breast in a single layer in the skillet. Cook chicken in batches if the skillet is too crowded.

Cook  chicken 3-4 minutes on each side allowing it to brown before flipping. Then remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add garlic to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds to flash cook. Then pour the tomatoes over the garlic and add the Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to medium and allow to come to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring and scraping the pan to release any bits from the bottom.

Add parmesan cheese and cream and stir to combine. Stir in fresh basil, then add the chicken back into the skillet and cover in sauce. Simmer for 3-5 more minutes or until everything is heated through.

Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella and place in the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to bubble and brown.

Garnish with additional basil and serve hot over pasta or with roasted veggies.

Baked chicken breasts topped with melted mozzarella in a thick and spicy tomato sauce. This easy one-pan recipe has intense flavor and is ready to serve in about 30 minutes.

30-Minute Baked Chicken Mozzarella

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2½-3 pounds)

Kosher salt

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

onion (chopped)

garlic (minced

anchovies (chopped)

oregano

fennel seed (optional

red pepper (or more/less to taste)

tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 425 (220C) degrees.

Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Put a large (12-14-inch) ovenproof skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook the onion until it&#39;s softened and translucent, 2-3 minutes.

Add the garlic, anchovies, oregano, fennel seed and crushed red pepper to the pan. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Stir in the tomatoes and roasted red peppers. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then arrange the chicken on top of the sauce and turn off the heat. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake 15 minutes.

Flip the chicken breasts over. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top of the chicken and bake 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Sprinkle the basil over the chicken and serve.
