Ingredients
2 Chicken Breast (12 ounces total)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, Divided
Salt and pepper
1 24oz Rao's Marinara (or your favorite sugar-free marinara)
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tablespoons Avocado oil
Equipment
Meat Thermometer
Sharp Chef Knife
Oven Safe Skillet
Instructions
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut each breast in half lengthwise (see notes) resulting in 4 chicken cutlets.
Season each side of the chicken breast cutlets with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Add the avocado oil to a large oven proof skillet (such as cast iron or stainless steel) and heat over medium-high heat. Brown each side of the chicken cutlets and cook until a meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 150F.
Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside. Pour the marinara in the skillet and scrape any browned bit from the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Return the chicken to the pan and top each cutlet with 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the rest of the Italian seasoning.
Trun your oven on HI Broil and set the rack to the middle of the oven. Place the mozzarella chicken in the oven and broil until the cheese becomes browned and bubbly...about 5-8 minutes
Remove from the oven and check for proper chicken temperature of 165F using your meat thermometer. Serve.
Notes
To cut the chicken in half lengthwise - place one hand flat on top of a chicken breast and, holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice it horizontally from the thick end to the thin end.
Avocado Oil - Better for searing as it has a higher smoke point than olive oil or butter.
Avoid Overcooked Chicken - Sear the chicken breast until the internal temperature is around 150F. This will allow us to continue to cook the chicken in the oven without it over cooking.
Oven Safe Skillet - If you do not own an oven safe skillet, you can brown each chicken cutlet in any skillet you have and pour the marinara sauce into a casserole dish, followed by the browned chicken and the cheese. Continue with step 5.
Checking for Doneness - To properly check the meats internal temperature, you need to check the temperature of the center of the meat.
Nutrition - Calculated based on 12 ounces of chicken breast. 1 serving is 1 chicken mozzarella cutlet and 1/4th of the sauce

I seen this and almost cried cause I cant eat alot of food anymore due to a disease but when I seen low carb it brought me hope. 2020 has been the worst year so far hope it gets better for everyone before me so I feel amazing when it does.
I’ve made your recipe twice now and they always ask for seconds! Thanks for sharing!! 💕
Looks simply delicious. Thanks again for sharing.
Wow, so delicious! My husband loved it! I also used the marinara you suggested.
Just did your recipe today March 25th 8:10 p.m. my family is loving this recipe!!. They think Dad is a super cook. Thank you very much
Today is February 3rd. Don’t lie.
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. Thank you so very much, and I love, love all your low carbs recipes.😊😊👏👏😋😋
Not really on a super low carb diet just looking for chicken breast dishes. Going to make this and eat it on some protein pasta.
This is such a marvelous recipe!
Thank you Jenny!!!So good.👏👏👏👏
Good job that looks so delicious easy and quick😊👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Just added it to my personal favourite recipe book!!
Add some water in the jar, sheke it, put it in the pan. This way you make less waste and it's easier to clean (if you keep them anyway, maybe not everyone is keeping their jars)
I’m trying your chicken breast Parmesan dish today😊hopefully it will look as tasty as yours did. Thanks for you Help😊
Lol good idea I have some italian seasoned chicken breast and some spaghetti sauce that I need to use up !
Yum!!!!!
I'm low carbin again and I'm making this tomorrow Eve!
Thanks!!🐔
You’re going to love it!
We really enjoy this chicken! Thanks Jennifer!
So if the whole casserole will only go in the oven for the sauce to get heated up and the cheese to melt, I'm guessing the chicken must be well cooked on the pan, not just browned or sealed?
Rao's is my favorite marinara sauce but wow
Pricey 😏
It is! You can often find it on sale. That’s when I stock up
How long do you put these in the broiler oven?
What was the oven broil temperature setting and
how long in the oven?
I have most all these ingredients. Now I just need to go buy a spaghetti squash, and some "marinara" sauce. lol. I love spaghetti squash, but I'll probably just buy a huge can of crushed tomatoes and make my own sauce. IDK I enjoy doing that.
can i leave it on the stove on low medium with a top on it to cook it fully?
Yes! I just made it like that❤️
Absolutely! I was too lazy for the oven, just place a lid and same affect, chicken came out tender
Can any other sauce be used
I love the simple low-carb stuff and this definitely delivers. I'll be doing it often. Delicious. I'll admit, I choose this one to try because Jennifer's hot, though.
What brand mozzarella do you use?
That’s brown.???
Kfc chicken world worst chicken
Thank you they are not as flavorful
She gave me to much anxiety.
She talks to much.
