Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 4 chicken cutlets (about 3 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup of marinara sauce
- ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F.
- Mix the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, and parsley to create a vibrant herb oil.
- Brush this herb oil generously on both sides of each chicken cutlet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy, ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and sear them for about 1 minute on each side until golden.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Spoon marinara sauce over the cutlets, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Dot with small pieces of butter and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot with extra marinara sauce on the side.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh herbs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to three months.
