One-Pan Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need for the easy chicken recipe

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 4 Chicken Breasts, boneless
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
• 16 oz. Crushed Tomatoes
• 1 tablespoons Basil, chopped – or 1 tsp. dried basil
• 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese
• Parsley, chopped

Instructions:

• If the chicken breasts are thick, flatten them slightly with a meat mallet. It will help them to cook more quickly and evenly.
• Season one side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning
• In a large pan, heat up olive oil and add the chicken, seasoned side down, and cook for 8-10 minutes. (Put a lid on while cooking so the meat doesn’t cook dry.)
• Season other side of chicken with salt, pepper, and remaining Italian Seasoning while the first side is cooking
• Flip the chicken and cook for another 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. Chicken is done when the internal temperature is 170°
• Remove the chicken and set aside
• In the same pan, cook the garlic for about 30 seconds then add the balsamic vinegar, crushed tomatoes, and fresh basil. Mix until well incorporated and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken back to the pan on top of the sauce.

Sprinkle a bit of fresh, chopped parsley over the Parmesan Chicken to give it a pretty finishing touch.

• Top each chicken breast with a slice of Mozzarella cheese and cover with lid for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted
• Add parsley and serve
