Going out to dinner with my sister tomorrow but making a ‘carry out’ Easter dinner to bring over to Keegs and Jim. Honey glazed ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and Mac & cheese in progress as we speak.. oh and brownie hot fudge sundaes for dessert. Cooking is my ‘happy’ place.
But for those who want something ‘non traditional’ I wanted to share this yummy, quick chicken dish that even the kiddos will love! Add in some zoodles, a fresh green salad and you’ll have a healthy, easy to throw together meal that’s ’waistline friendly’! 😉
Enjoy!
DESCRIPTION:
Italian chicken skillet is a one pan dish that is quick and easy to make, It tastes like a healthy version of chicken Parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 thinly sliced chicken breasts (1 lb)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 cup crushed tomatoes, 2 cups if you are serving this with zoodles or pasta
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (2B Mindset can use low fat)
1 T of Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Add olive oil to an oven safe skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Saute chicken until fully cooked, flipping halfway, about 4 minutes on each side. If your chicken is thicker, it will require a longer cook time.
Add in sliced garlic and saute for a minute; Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer for a few minutes while sauce thickens.
Turn off the heat and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately!
