Quick Skillet Chicken Parm

Preheat oven to 425ºF and an ovenproof skillet to medium-high heat with some olive oil. When skillet is hot, add chicken in one layer. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until chicken is lightly browned.

Add onion to skillet. Stir onion with the chicken for 2 minutes, then add garlic. Stir garlic for 1 minute, then add tomato sauce and whole tomatoes with their juices. Use your hands or a spoon to crush the tomatoes as you add them to the pan.

Stir sauce together with chicken and taste; add salt and pepper until it is very flavorful. Sprinkle mozzarella pieces over the sauce—they should sink in slightly. Sprinkle panko and Parmesan over top of the skillet to form a crust.

Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15–20 minutes until sauce is bubbly and topping is brown. Let rest for a few minutes to cool just slightly and serve as desired with pasta, bread, or salad.

Enjoy!
