Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1 onion chopped
- 15 ounces canned stewed tomatoes undrained
- ¼ cup zesty Italian dressing
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 small boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Start by heating the canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown slightly.
- Stir in the undrained canned stewed tomatoes, Zesty Italian dressing, and tomato paste to the skillet.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, making sure they're nestled into the sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let everything simmer for 12 minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked through before moving on to the next step.
- Once the chicken is done, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Continue to simmer, uncovered this time, for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add the parsley, if using.
Notes
- For short-term storage, keep cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, store in the freezer. Use a freezer-safe container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then put it in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
- When you're ready to enjoy it again, if frozen, thaw it overnight in the fridge. For reheating, a low oven or microwave works best. If using an oven, cover the chicken with foil to keep it moist and reheat at 350°F until warmed through. In the microwave, use a lower power setting to avoid drying out the chicken, and add a splash of water or chicken broth to help keep it moist.
