Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350° and allow to come to temperature. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Have ready a 9x13" casserole dish.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of seasoning, and rub to adhere.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the heated pan, and allow to come to temperature. Add the chicken and sear for 3- 4 minutes, just until golden-brown. Flip the chicken and sear for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion and sauté 5-8 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
- Add the canned tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper and stir. If using basil, add it to the pan, stir, and remove from the heat.
- If desired, for a smoother sauce, puree using an immersion blender or a blender with the feed tube removed and a dish towel covering its place.
- Add a thin layer of sauce to the bottom of the casserole dish and add the chicken breasts. Spoon a generous amount of marinara sauce over each chicken breast and divide the Mozzarella cheese amongst the chicken.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-27 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:
- Add the chicken to a large skillet and cover completely with the marinara sauce. Bring the marinara to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, flipping the chicken once halfway through and rotating the pan every so often to ensure even cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
- Remove the chicken from the marinara sauce, then slice it and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pasta and reserved cooking water to the marinara sauce and cook over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until the sauce coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve, divide the pasta among 4 plates and top each with some sliced chicken and parsley if using.
CHICKEN MARINARA WITH PASTA
My son Logan, 11, and I created this basic but very good dish. It was the first meal he made all by himself (with supervision, of course). Best of all, it was a real hit with the three friends he invited for dinner." -Joanie Fuson, Indianapolis, Indiana
