Chicken and Red Sauce image

My husband needed room in the freezer for a large amount of coffee beans...so he brought up a bunch of stuff. What could I do but invent a recipe? This was the result, and it turned out pretty good! I wanted to write it down so I could duplicate it...glad I remembered the pictures! I hope you get a chance to try it.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c good tomato sauce, home made is best
2 large chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
bacon
4 oz shredded mozzarella
2 oz fresh parmesan
salt and pepper
basil, garlic or other spice you like with chicken
olive oil
black olives, opt
green onions, opt

Steps:

  • 1. Make, defrost or just use a jar of sauce. Mine was made from last summer's garden tomatoes and basil.
  • 2. Put a bit of the sauce in the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish.
  • 3. Split the chicken breasts if they are large and lay on top of the sauce.
  • 4. Give them some seasoning. I used basil, garlic powder, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • 5. Add the shredded Mozzarella.
  • 6. I put some bacon on top of that just because.
  • 7. Add some more sauce over the whole thing.
  • 8. Shred some Parmesan on top of the sauce.
  • 9. It looked kind of naked so I added some sliced olives and some green onion tops.
  • 10. I saved the remaining sauce to spoon on each serving.
  • 11. Bake at 350 until chicken reads done on a thermometer. Mine got baked too long!
  • 12. Serve with plain rice or my Mexican Rice.
