Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 14.5 ounces (1 can, no-salt-added) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup (shredded) reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and stir in the oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot on its own or over a bed of whole-grain pasta or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
