Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  4. Add the drained diced tomatoes, oregano, and basil to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before serving.
