Chicken Mozzarella

Chicken Mozzarella is an easy dish to make and is always a favorite. This goes in the category of how to make dinner in under a half an hour.   

Every time I serve it someone says, it’s tastes just like pizza.

It does, maybe I should name if Chicken Pizza.

I begin by boiling the water for pasta.

Then I pound the chicken thin or slice (filet) them in half.

Place tomato sauce in a shallow pan.

If I don’t have homemade sauce, I use sauce with no sugar added.

I sometimes add white wine and oregano. Crushed red pepper if I want it to have a kick!

Place chicken on top of the sauce, cover until it’s cooked about 15 minutes.

Then add a slice of Mozzarella Cheese on top and spinach cover for a minute or two until cheese melts and spinach wilts slightly.

By this time I’m draining my pasta.

Or place it on some rolls for a great sandwich!

Put pasta on each plate and a slice of chicken or two, scoop out some sauce and you all set.

A simple hot delicious meal.
