Skillet Chicken Parmesan

This is the first recipe I have ever made that I felt super proud of afterwards.  I’ve had meals turn out good, but this one was superb.  Beyond my expectations.

And my husband ate about 3/4 of it and just kept eating, which is an amazing sign.

It’s called chicken “parmesan” but it’s definitely not a traditional recipe with sauce. It uses whole grape tomatoes in lieu of tomato sauce and it was fantastic!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour I used organic pastry flour
• 2 1/2 tsp salt-free Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 2 1/2 oz sliced part-skim mozzarella

Instructions

• Whisk together flour, 2 tsp of the Italian seasoning, and 1/4 tsp each salt and black pepper.
• Coat chicken with flour & seasoning mixture.
• Heat oil in large broiler-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Of course I'm a big fan of cast iron.
• Add chicken and brown, turning, until golden and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to plate.
• Heat broiler.
• Add tomatoes and remaining 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning to skillet. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes are broken down and becoming saucy, about 6 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
• Remove pan from heat, place chicken into sauce, and top with cheese.
• Broil chicken 6" from heat until cheese is golden, about 2 minutes.
• Serve.

Notes

The original recipe called for 1/4 C fresh basil leaves as garnish after broiling. I didn't have any and left them out.

The original recipe also called for 3 pt of grape tomatoes, but that seemed like too much so I cut down to 1 pt but you can certainly add more.
