directions

  • Fillet chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally.
  • Pound the thicker part of each fillet, if desired, to even the thickness of the breast, resulting in more tender chicken.
  • Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat, and when hot, spray skillet with fat-free cooking spray.
  • Brown fillets by cooking in skillet for 2 minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches.
  • Add the marinara sauce to the skillet, cover, and finish chicken in the sauce until cooked through. Stir every couple of minutes.
  • Top the chicken with mozzarella cheese, using only 1 oz of cheese per serving of chicken. Cover skillet and cook until cheese is melted.
  • Top one cup of pasta with 1/2 cup of marinara sauce and 2 fillets of chicken.

  1. This was great-thank you so much!
     
  2. I hope that me and sugarpea are not the only two to make this because this is great! I also hope that the 9 points is not turning anyone away because it is worth it!!! For those of you who crave something, chessy, patsa-ey, and chicken-ey, you will love this. i added sauted mushrooms and garlic before i added the cheese at the end. next time i will use garlic salt instead of reg. salt and i will either add some fresh herbs or italian seasoning.! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! We will be making this again next week. :)
     
  3. Gilded the lily with a little garlic and some Italian seasonings. I dare you to eat just one ounce of mozzarella.
