Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • 9X13 Baking Pan
  • 9x9 Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs raw chicken breast sliced thin like a cutlet and tenderized
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 2 TBS butter
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups homemade vodka sauce See recipe below
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 3/4 cup shredded parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Tenderizing Chicken

  • Thinly slice chicken breast like a cutlet, tenderize, salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

Prepping Cast Iron Skillet

  • Place olive oil, butter, and garlic in large cast iron skillet. Heat on medium heat to bubbling.

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.
