Italian Baked Chicken
A tomato and vegetable mixture covers browned and baked chicken breasts.
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
- 3/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or 2 teaspoons crushed fresh garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 3/4-inch thick
- 2 cups halved fresh mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
Directions:
- Rinse the chicken with cool water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the Italian seasoning, garlic powder or garlic, pepper, and salt in a small bowl, and stir to mix well. Rub both sides of the chicken with the spice mixture.
- Coat a large oven-proof nonstick skillet with nonstick olive oil cooking spray, and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Remove the skillet from the heat, and set aside.
- Place the tomatoes and tomato paste in a large bowl, and stir to mix well. Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and onion, and stir to mix well. Spread the vegetable mixture over and around the chicken in the skillet.
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil, and bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot with brown rice or pasta, if desired.
