Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup parmesan shredded
  • 4 oz Mozzarella sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut each breast in half horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken under a layer of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
  • Season the chicken breast with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet.
  • Heat oil over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked chicken to a tray and cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat with any remaining cutlets.
  • Add garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
  • Add tomatoes, seasoning, basil, and parmesan cheese to the pan.
  • Stir and simmer on low heat for ten minutes.
  • Add chicken and plate juices back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Place the mozzarella pieces on top of the sauce, cover with foil and put the skillet on a grill heated to 375 F or over the campfire.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and the cheese melts.
