Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Grease the bottom of the baking pan (I used 2.5 quart oval casserole dish) with butter. Season chicken breasts with salt and Italian seasoning on both sides. (Use 4 small chicken breasts or 2 large chicken breasts and half them horizontally to make 4 - that's what I did). Place chicken breasts into the greased baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 375 F, uncovered.
  • Remove from the oven (the chicken will not be completely cooked through - you'll continue baking it later).
  • Combine chopped artichoke hearts, chopped basil, chopped tomato, minced garlic cloves and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.
  • Place this mixture on top of chicken in the baking dish. Top with sliced fresh mozzarella cheese.
  • Continue baking the chicken for 15-20 more minutes at 375 F, uncovered. Broil in the end, if desired.
  • Serve as is, or over cooked spinach or rice. You can use juices from the pan to pour over the chicken and the cooked spinach or rice.
