Chicken and Mozzarella Bake 😋🤗
This dish is a cozy, delicious hug on a plate!
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
– 2 basil leaves
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– 1/2 red onion, diced
– 1 (16 ounce) can of tomatoes
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
First things first, preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, grab a skillet and drizzle in the olive oil, heating it over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and diced red onion, letting them sauté until they’re delightfully softened and aromatic.
Now, it’s time to season those chicken breasts! Sprinkle them with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, really giving them a good rub down for flavor.
In a baking dish, layer those seasoned chicken breasts, the sautéed aromatic mixture, fresh basil leaves, and pour over the canned tomatoes—don’t skimp on that delicious juice! Finish it off by generously topping everything with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Pop that baking dish in the oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling up and golden. Serve it warm, and get ready to dive into a plateful of flavor!
