Cook this recipe

  • boneless skinless chicken breasts-1 1/2 lb
  • mozzarella cheese-1 1/2 cups
  • fresh basil-1/4 cup
  • olive oil-2 tablespoons
  • garlic-4 cloves
  • crushed tomatoes-1 can
  • kosher salt-1 teaspoon
  • baby spinach-5 oz
  • Italian seasoning-1 teaspoon
  • black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
1
Prep chicken, garlic, and basil
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Cut the chicken breasts into 4 even cutlets about 3/4 inch thick, then mince the garlic and chop the basil.

Use a clean cutting board and knife for raw chicken, and wash them before using them for ready-to-eat ingredients like basil.

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
4 Count garlic
1/4 cup basil
2
Season and sear chicken
Tongs
Large skillet with lid
Plate

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Use caution with hot oil while searing to avoid splatter burns.

Wash hands and utensils after contact with raw chicken.

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3
Start the tomato sauce
Large skillet with lid
Measuring cups and spoons

Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning, scraping up browned bits from the skillet.

4 Count garlic
1 can tomatoes
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
4
Simmer chicken until done
Tongs
Instant-read thermometer
Large skillet with lid

Return the chicken and juices to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken, cover, and simmer gently until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part, 8 to 10 minutes.

Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part.

Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer to reduce hot tomato sauce splatters.

5
Wilt spinach
Tongs
Large skillet with lid

Scatter spinach around the chicken and stir it into the sauce until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.

5 ounces spinach
6
Melt cheese and finish
Large skillet with lid

Sprinkle mozzarella over the chicken. Cover and cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with basil and serve.

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup basil
