Skinny Chicken Parmesan Skillet



4 chicken breasts, pound thinner if they are fat breasts
salt and pepper
Traditional Red Sauce recipe click here
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
fresh basil around 4 leaves chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Salt and pepper chicken breasts both sides.

In a cast iron skillet (do not use a non stick skillet because they don't go in the oven)
add some olive oil, brown chicken breast for 3 minutes each side, remove from pan.

Turn off heat and add in some red sauce to the pan, maybe 1/2 cup.

Add the chicken breasts on top of the red sauce.

Top off the chicken breast with some more red sauce. 

Add some mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese on top of chicken and red sauce.

Sprinkle with some fresh basil.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, depending on how thin your chicken was. 30 minutes if it was a bigger piece of chicken. 

Then the last 3 minutes turn the broil on and broil until the cheese is brown and bubbly. 

You can eat as is with some cooked vegetables and salad on the side or serve with some pasta.
