Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped herbs, smashed garlic cloves, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a zip-lock bag. Mix until well combined. Add the trimmed chicken thighs to the bag then seal and refrigerate for 5-6 hours. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
  2. Coat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat with cooking spray. Season both sides of the chicken with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place the chicken thighs into the HOT pan for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Flip the chicken over then spoon some marinara over the top. Sprinkle a bit of mozzarella and parmesan on top of the marinara then cover with tin foil and place into the oven for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the tin foil then cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Place onto a serving tray, sprinkle the top with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy.
