This is a favorite dish in our family. I came up with this dish myself because the traditional version takes forever to make. I just throw a few ingredients together, pop the dish in the oven and forget it.—Robin Stevens, Cadiz, Kentucky

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Place the chicken in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. In a small saucepan, bring the tomato paste, water, garlic and seasonings to a boil. Pour over chicken.
  2. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheeses; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 165°.
