Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Over medium-high heat in a large skillet, heat olive oil.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic in the same skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, and dried basil. To let the flavors mix well simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and spoon the tomato mushroom sauce over them.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • If you like, you can add a finishing touch of fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
