- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 Tb extra virgin olive oil or other cooking oil
- 1 ½ c marinara sauce
- 6 slices fresh mozzarella

- Heat the oil in an oven safe skillet over medium high heat.

- Wipe out any excess oil from the skillet.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the bottom of the skillet.
