Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 teaspoons Garlic Herb Seasoning Blend
- salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for sauteing
- 1 cup commercially prepared marinara sauce warmed
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
- Rub the olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them with salt. Sprinkle the Garlic Herb Seasoning Blend over each breast, patting it in.
- Pour enough oil in the skillet to saute the chicken. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 5 minutes (8 minutes if they are huge), then flip and cook another 5-8 minutes. NOTE: If the chicken was cold, straight from the fridge, it may take a minute or two longer than the time I have indicated.
- Spoon ¼ cup sauce over each of the pieces of chicken and place 1 ounce of the sliced Fresh Mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the pan with a piece of foil or a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes on low until the cheese melts. Serve, or place under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
- Garnish and serve.
