TENDER TOMATO CHICKEN BREASTS
This is a light, juicy, flavorful dish. Being a mom of a 7 month old, I've learned to take a lot of shortcuts and still be able to cook quality food. This is quick, easy, and tasty. If you absolutely must use fresh veggies, that's ok, but frozen veggies, in my opinion, work a little bit better. Serve with rice, if desired. To kick it up a bit, add chopped green peppers in with the tomatoes.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND MOZZARELLA
I developed this, and the great thing about this recipe is that you can coat the breasts, brown them in oil and then refrigerate for up to 8 hours before continuing with the remainder of the recipe, which makes this a great recipe to serve to dinner guests, 30 minutes before serving just drizzle with the marinara sauce and bake! I use recipe#136292 that I make and freeze to use in recipes or recipe#71273 can also be used, your own favorite marinara or pasta sauce can also be used. If you are using more than 7 chicken breasts you will need a larger baking dish and breadcrumb mixture and marinara sauce will need to be increased. It is best to use fresh not frozen thawed breasts for this, with previous experience cooking frozen thawed breasts sometimes tend to create a soggy crust, if you are using frozen thawed make certain that your chicken breasts are completely thawed with no extra moisture left in them. You will love this dish!

Steps:
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a shallow dish mix together the breadcrumbs with the next 5 ingredients.
- In another small shallow dish whisk the eggs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (use enough oil to coat bottom of the skillet).
- Dip the breasts first in the egg (shaking off any excess egg) and then coat in the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Place in oil and cook on both sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes on each side, do not cook the breasts completely just until the outside breadcrumb coating is lightly browned).
- Place the browned breasts single layer in the greased casserole dish.
- At this point you can cool and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup the marinara sauce over the browned breasts (not too much sauce or it will cause the outside breading to turn soggy and soft, if you do not mind that then use as much sauce as you like!).
- Set oven to 350 degrees, oven rack set to bottom position.
- Bake for about 35 for smaller thin breasts and 45 minutes for thicker-sized breasts or until the chicken is done (if you are baking the chicken from refrgerated then cooking time might take a little longer, cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts).
- Remove the chicken and place 1 or 2 slices of mozzeralla cheese on top of each cooked breast then return to oven for anout 4-5 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly or place under the broiler to melt cheese.
- Delicious.

Steps:
- Mash butter, garlic, marjoram, and paprika in a small bowl to blend. Season marjoram butter to taste with salt and pepper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon marjoram butter in a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet, cover, and cook until no longer pink in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Tent chicken with foil to keep warm.
- Increase heat to high. Add tomatoes to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to char and burst, about 5 minutes. Add remaining marjoram butter to skillet. Crush tomatoes slightly to release juices; stir 1 minute. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon tomato sauce over chicken. Garnish with parsley.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: Flavorful tomatoes are the key to a delicious sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken breasts, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Italian cooking. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This will result in a richer, more flavorful sauce.
- Serve with your favorite pasta: This chicken and tomato sauce can be served with a variety of pastas, such as spaghetti, penne, or linguine. You can also serve it over rice or polenta.
Conclusion:
This chicken and tomato sauce is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The juicy chicken breasts, flavorful sauce, and fresh herbs come together to create a delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion. Serve it with your favorite pasta or rice, and enjoy!
