How to Make Baked Chicken Cutlets

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly spray a small (8x8 inch) baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Chop 1 cup of tomatoes and place half (1/2 cup) in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Place two pounded chicken cutlets (approximately 6 oz each) on top of the tomatoes.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes over the chicken cutlets.
  5. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder over the tomatoes and chicken.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
