Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the chicken:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano on both sides.

Sear the chicken:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Sauté vegetables:

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the sauce:

  • Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Return the chicken to the skillet:

  • Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.

Bake the chicken:

  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Optional cheesy topping:

  • In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and serve:

  • Once done, remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the chicken with the vegetable sauce.
