During the holidays is when I seem to create the most Italian inspired recipes that seem to warmly fill our bellies and fill our home with delicious savory scents. Perhaps it’s the scent of earthy smelling herbs or perhaps it’s the hearty feeling of the food, but I just love Italian recipes during the colder winter months. This super easy chicken Parmesan recipe is super delicious and has become an Eaglin family cherished recipe.
When I cook Italian inspired foods, I always use high quality ingredients, such as fresh mozzarella from the deli, fresh cracked pepper, fresh herbs and above all else Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. No lie, it’s the only olive oil I have ever used in my cooking. Founded amidst the hills of Tuscany, Pompeian has become America’s first national brand of imported extra virgin olive oil.
Easy Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Chicken Breasts
2 cups of Pasta
1 cup of Pasta Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Mozzerella
Garlic, Pepper and Salt to taste
Directions
Heat olive oil in large pan under medium high heat
Season chicken breast generously with fresh cracked black pepper and garlic
Cook chicken breast for approximately 10 minutes on each side, flipping regularly to avoid burning (sometimes, if my chicken is extra thick I butterfly the chicken to ensure a thorough cook).
Reduce heat to medium low
Top chicken with about 1 cup of your favorite pre-made pasta sauce, cook for 3-4 minutes
Reduce heat to low
Top chicken and sauce with large slices of fresh mozzarella cheese. Cover.
Allow cheese to melt and become the ultimate ooey gooey.
Serve with grilled vegetables and al dente noodles
Enjoy!
