Chicken sauteed with garlic and Italian seasonings and served with a rich tomato sauce and parmesean cheese. A great week-night dinner.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut chicken breasts almost in half, leaving one side uncut to form a hinge. Cut 4 slices of parmesan cheese about 1/4 in thick. Nestle a slice of cheese inside each chicken breast, (use more if you like it more cheesy). Sprinkle both sides of each breast with Italian Seasoning. Coat large skillet with olive oil and add the chicken breasts and garlic. Cook chicken breasts with garlic for about 10 minutes on each side until well browned. Remove breasts from pan. Add tomato paste and 1T Italian seasoning to pan. Slowly stir in chicken broth until the tomato paste is the correct consistency and heat until bubbly. Return the chicken breasts to the pan. Grate parmesan cheese on top of each breast. Place the entire pan in the oven and bake until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Arrange a portion of spaghetti on each plate. Place a chicken breast on each pile of spaghetti, top with sauce, and sprinkle with parsley.

 

Notes: I make this in a grill pan so the chicken has nice grill marks on it. Flat leaf Italian parsley works best.
