Chicken Parmesan Recipe

4

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500° F.

Stir the oil and herbs in a small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the cutlets with the herb oil. Heat a heavy large oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan. Add the cutlets and cook just until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Spoon the marinara sauce over and around the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of mozzarella over each cutlet; then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of Parmesan over each. Sprinkle the butter pieces atop the cutlets. Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
