Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs boneless skinless
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Italian herbs dried
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cups easy & quick marinara sauce (see previous recipe)
  • 1 package fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Rinse and pat dry chicken thighs. Combine olive oil, herbs, and salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 5 minutes to bloom. Toss chicken with herb mixture and coat evenly.
  • In a shallow, oven-safe saucepan, brown the chicken in batches and set aside. Deglaze with marinara, then add chicken back in and coat evenly with the sauce. Sprinkle parmesan over everything.
  • Bake chicken until almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through. Serve with pasta.
