I made this for dinner. Easy and scrumptious!

Easy Chicken Parmesan

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Large pinch of red pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 500° F. Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Mix in the oregano and crushed red pepper. Coat chicken with garlic oil mixture.
Place 1 cup Parmesan in pie dish. Dip 1 side of each chicken piece into cheese to coat; arrange chicken, cheese side up, on a large rimmed baking sheet or in a glass baking dish.
Roast chicken until just cooked through and firm to touch, about 10 minutes. Arrange mozzarella slices atop chicken. Return to oven; roast until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.


I served it with brown rice and a spinach, feta, and walnut salad with raspberry vinagrette.
