Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme (chopped)
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
2 teaspoons fresh flat leaf parsley (chopped)
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 thickness.
  • In a small bowl, stir the oil and herbs to blend.
  • Brush both sides of the chicken with the blended oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oven-proof pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until just brown, about 2 minutes per side. Chicken should be nearly cooked through.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Spoon the spaghetti sauce over the chicken, top with mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan.
  • Dot the tops with butter pieces, and bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through; about 5 minutes.
