    20-Minute Italian Chicken Skillet

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Italian Chicken Skillet is great for weeknight dinners in a hurry, simple, and so delicious the whole family will request it every week!

    I received herbs from Gourmet Garden to facilitate this recipe, and be entered into a contest to win a year's supply of herbs thanks to Eat, Write, Retreat. No other compensation was provided and all opinions are my own.

    Gourmet Garden Herbs

    You should see my dried herb and spice cabinet, it's a mess. I always have tons of them on hand, and I sometimes forget I already have them and buy more. These Gourmet Garden herbs are refrigerated, keep fresh for 4 weeks after opening, and are stack-able. The tops actually snap together, which I love!

    I used parsley, basil, and chives in this Italian Chicken Skillet recipe. Besides that, all you need is a can of tomatoes, a clove of garlic (always!) and some black pepper. Slice a few chicken breasts in half so they are thin, and it's ready in about 20 minutes.  It's good over rice, or pasta, or even by itself.

    Ingredients

    • 3 large chicken breasts, cut in half width-wise (about 2 pounds chicken)*
    • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes (I used no salt added)
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden lightly dried parsley
    • 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden lightly dried chives
    • 1 teaspoon Gourmet Garden lightly dried basil
    • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¾ cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

    Instructions

    • Place the chicken in a large skillet and top with the undrained diced tomatoes. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, turning once, for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley, chives, and basil, turn the chicken again and cook for 5 more minutes. Spoon some of the tomatoes on top of the chicken pieces, then sprinkle each breast with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.

    Notes

    The chicken breast will be easy to slice width-wise if they are partially frozen. Finish defrosting in the refrigerator (if sliced the morning ahead) or microwave.
