Course: dinner, Main Course
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper
  • Eight thin chicken cutlets
  • 1 1/2 cups Tomato Sauce or purchased pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  2. Stir the oil and herbs in a small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the cutlets with the herb oil. Use either a heavy oven-proof skillet or regular skillet that you can then transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan. Add the cutlets and cook just until brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Spoon the marinara sauce over the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella over each cutlet, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan over each. Sprinkle the butter pieces atop the cutlets. Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Serve with either noodles or a side salad.
    Enjoy!
