Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 large chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1.5 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
Season both sides of each piece of chicken with the garlic powder and salt & pepper.
Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes/side. Add the chicken to a greased baking dish (I used a 9x13) once both sides are seared.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken and use a spoon to spread it evenly over and around the chicken.
Sprinkle the parmesan over the chicken breasts, and then do the same with the mozzarella.
Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. If your chicken breasts are on the smaller side, I suggest doing 15 minutes.
Broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes or so until the cheese is lightly browned (watch it closely). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes prior to serving (this will ensure it's juicy). Chicken is done when an instant read meat thermometer shows 165F in the deepest part. Its temperature will continue to rise while resting.

Ingredients

2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut or pounded to thin cutlets)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
4 oz buffalo mozzarella (sliced)
4 cloves garlic (pressed)
28 oz crushed tomatoes ((1 can))
1 tbsp Italian seasoning ((dried))
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup fresh basil (chopped)

Steps:

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.

Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound penne or rigatoni
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, finely diced
One 25-ounce jar good-quality marinara sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into medium cubes
1/4 cup Parmesan shavings, plus grated Parmesan, for serving
12 basil leaves, cut into chiffonade

Steps:

Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir the chicken around to brown it on all sides. Remove to a plate.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the garlic and onions and stir immediately to start cooking. Cook until the onions are deep golden, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the marinara sauce, red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup water. Stir until the onions and garlic are mixed in, then add the chicken back to the skillet. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes.
Make sure the sauce is bubbly and very hot, then gently stir in the mozzarella. Let sit, undisturbed, until you can see that the mozzarella is very soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
Drain the pasta and pour it onto a platter. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Immediately sprinkle on the Parmesan shavings. Pour on the sauce, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and the chiffonade of basil and serve immediately!

CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND MOZZARELLA

Chicken Breast With Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella image

I developed this, and the great thing about this recipe is that you can coat the breasts, brown them in oil and then refrigerate for up to 8 hours before continuing with the remainder of the recipe, which makes this a great recipe to serve to dinner guests, 30 minutes before serving just drizzle with the marinara sauce and bake! I use recipe#136292 that I make and freeze to use in recipes or recipe#71273 can also be used, your own favorite marinara or pasta sauce can also be used. If you are using more than 7 chicken breasts you will need a larger baking dish and breadcrumb mixture and marinara sauce will need to be increased. It is best to use fresh not frozen thawed breasts for this, with previous experience cooking frozen thawed breasts sometimes tend to create a soggy crust, if you are using frozen thawed make certain that your chicken breasts are completely thawed with no extra moisture left in them. You will love this dish!

Time 55m

Yield 8 chicken breats

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

7 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups dry breadcrumbs (use dry breadcrumbs only!)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 -2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
2 -3 cups marinara sauce (use about 1/3 cup sauce for each breast, but can use more)
7 -14 slices mozzarella cheese (or to taste)

Steps:

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
In a shallow dish mix together the breadcrumbs with the next 5 ingredients.
In another small shallow dish whisk the eggs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (use enough oil to coat bottom of the skillet).
Dip the breasts first in the egg (shaking off any excess egg) and then coat in the breadcrumbs mixture.
Place in oil and cook on both sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes on each side, do not cook the breasts completely just until the outside breadcrumb coating is lightly browned).
Place the browned breasts single layer in the greased casserole dish.
At this point you can cool and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup the marinara sauce over the browned breasts (not too much sauce or it will cause the outside breading to turn soggy and soft, if you do not mind that then use as much sauce as you like!).
Set oven to 350 degrees, oven rack set to bottom position.
Bake for about 35 for smaller thin breasts and 45 minutes for thicker-sized breasts or until the chicken is done (if you are baking the chicken from refrgerated then cooking time might take a little longer, cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts).
Remove the chicken and place 1 or 2 slices of mozzeralla cheese on top of each cooked breast then return to oven for anout 4-5 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly or place under the broiler to melt cheese.
Delicious.
