Chicken Margherita
A fresh and flavorful dish with grilled chicken topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella—often served over pasta or with a light sauce. Bright, summery, and simple.
Ingredients
- 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups ragu® old world style® margherita smooth pasta sauce
Directions
- Season chicken, if desired, with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken, turning once, about 5 minutes.
- Add pasta sauce and simmer covered 5 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Top chicken with cheese, then let stand until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Garnish with basil.
- Serve, if desired, with hot cooked penne pasta topped with additional pasta sauce, heated.
