#1223 - Mozzarella Chicken Breasts

(by Shirley McNevich)

6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 - 15oz. jar of your favorite pizza/pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
salt, pepper and oregano to your taste

Sprinkle salt, pepper and oregano on each chicken breast--pound each with a meat tenderizer. Flip chicken breasts over and repeat. Place chicken breasts in a greased glass baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, turn all chicken breasts over on the other side, pour pizza/pasta sauce over all of the chicken. Put foil back on and bake for 30 minutes more--test for tenderness. When chicken is done, remove foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken breasts. Return to oven (without foil) and bake until cheese is melted.
