Chicken Mozzarella

This was so good I ate it before I got a picture! Next time I make it (because I definitely will be making it again!) I'll make sure to get a picture. This was pretty easy to make, and only four ingredients! Supergreat for those times when you want a fairly quick dinner, that's fairly light but tastey. Not to mention it's covered in cheese...and who doesn't want their dinner covered in cheese?!

Shopping List:
4 Chicken breasts (mine were about 6oz each)
Dash of olive oil (just over 1/2 tbs)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Cup pasta sauce (I just discovered prego light and had to try it!)
6oz Shredded mozzarella (preferably reduced fat - either part skim or 2%)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Then, drizzle a little olive oil in a skillet big enough for your chicken breasts. Heat the oil, and in the meantime pound the chicken so it's a little more even - I sandwiched the breats between two pieces of wax paper and pounded them with the heal of my hand.
Saute the chicken in the heated oil, adding a little salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to keep rotating those chickens! Otherwise they're going to burn. Keep turning and cooking till they're cooked through - about 18 minutes (I kept my pan on med-hi to med to make sure they didn't burn).
Pour a little of the pasta sauce in a casserole dish to cover the bottom. Dip each chicken breast in the sauce to coat. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken breasts and top with the cheese.
Pop in the oven for a little bit, till the cheese melts, about seven minutes.

To get the cheese a little crispy on top, move the rack to the top and let it sit under the coil, but make sure to keep an eye on it! Also, I've done this before with "fancy shredded" mozzarella and it didn't turn out as well. I think the smaller shreds don't melt the same.

Yumminess - * * * * (out of five) - I think the chicken needed just a touch more seasoning, but the globs of cheese on top totally helped ;-)
Healthy-ness - Pretty good! 10gs of fat for a dinner? Not bad at all. And only 14 carbs!

Been Too Long!

Sorry faithful readers! I've been off the radar for far too long.

I'm trying to get back on here, coming up with tasty easy dishes! I'm pulling away from sticking to one single cookbook, and am going to take a chance to dabble in a few different ones. I'll still be reviewing recipes like before, but in order to keep things light and healthy, I'll be tweaking them just a little.

On the menu tonight: Either chicken nuggets with fries, or chicken mozzerella (a spin on chicken parmesean). You'll have to stay tuned and be surprised to find which one wins the vote!
