How to Make Easy Chicken Sorrentino

  1. Pat 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Layer 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly, over the chicken. Top with the tomato sauce.
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve the Chicken Sorrentino over linguine or angel hair pasta. Garnish with fresh basil (optional). Serve with a side salad and semolina bread.
