  • Repeat with additional chicken pieces (wipe skillet clean in between batches - and add fresh olive oil)
  • Remove chicken from skillet when down and pour pasta sauce onto the bottom of the skillet.
  • Lay chicken pieces on top.
  • Spoon a tablespoon of sauce over the top of each chicken piece.
  • Sprinkle about 2 TBS of mozzarella and 1 TBS of Parmesan over the top of each chicken breast.
