Prepping Cast Iron Skillet
Frying Chicken
Place as much chicken as you can fit in the hot skillet. Brown on both sides.
When finished browning on both sides, place on a paper towel lined plate to rest. Place the additional prepped chicken in the skillet repeating steps until all the chicken is cooked.
Preparing for Baking
Place 3/4 cup of premade vodka sauce (recipe to follow) in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish (I had to also use an additional 9x9 baking dish).
Place chicken on vodka sauce in a single layer. Cover chicken with 3/4 cup vodka sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 min. I also broil the top for about 2 min because I like my cheese crispy.
Let rest for 5 min. Heat any additional left over vodka sauce to add additional to chicken when serving. Serve along spaghetti squash or zoodles. Or with your favorite side veggie or salad.
