| Preparation Time | 10-15 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 15-20 minutes |
| Total Time | 25-35 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella, approximately 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup marsala wine
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) so that it will be ready when you need to transfer the skillet for baking.
Step 2: Sauté Onions and Garlic
Heat a bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then, add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Season and Sear the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Move the sautéed onions and garlic to the side of the pan, and add the chicken breasts.
Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are well browned.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Liquids
Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast.
Pour broth and Marsala wine into the pan so that it surrounds the chicken.
Cover the pan with a lid to keep the moisture in.
Step 5: Bake the Chicken
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the skillet from the oven, being careful as it will be very hot.
Serve the chicken hot, with extra sauce spooned over each breast.
Enjoy your delicious meal!
