Mom’s Mozzarella Chicken for Drew

Using mozzarella cheese, chicken broth, garlic and onion, this is a variation of Chicken Parmesan created for my son, who doesn’t like the standard version. This dish goes fast in our home, served with hot cooked pasta, salad and crusty Italian bread.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  2. Stir in spaghetti sauce, then cover and simmer another 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve hot.
