List of Ingredients
Chicken Ptarmigan
* 6 chicken breasts, rinsed. Thin pieces preferable to thick pieces.
* 2 cups flour
* Salt and pepper
* 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
* 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
* 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
* 2 jars of your favorite marinara sauce, store bought
* 6 slices mozzarella (1 slice per chicken breast)
* Grated Parmesan cheese
* Italian parsleyRecipe
* Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Set aside.
* Combine in a bowl the flour, salt and pepper to taste, rosemary and thyme. Set aside.
* Add olive oil to large skillet. Warm over medium heat.
* Dust the chicken breasts in flour mixture.
* When oil is hot but not burning, add chicken breasts to skillet.
* Brown chicken breasts on both sides until coating is light brown and breasts are just barely cooked through.
* Add marinara sauce to skillet. Heat sauce until slightly bubbling.
* Cover each piece of chicken with one slice of mozzarella. Mozzarella will gently melt from heat of the chicken and surrounding sauce. Remove from heat.
* Optional: You may transfer chicken pieces topped with mozzarella to broiler or toaster over if you want the mozzarella to be slightly toasted on top (see photo).
* After adding each chicken breast to a plate, top with a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with finely chopped Italian parsley.
Serving Suggestion
