1 tablespoon olive oil

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook about 3 minutes longer. Top each breast with sliced mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook until cheese has melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 3
Remove from the skillet and allow to cool for 1 minute before serving.

I smoke my own cheese and was looking for ways to use up the mozzarella. This was very tasty! I might change up the seasonings next time. To note: I used way less cheese than called for. I'm a huge cheese lover, but a whole block of cheese on 4 breasts was a bit much. Also, depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you might have to cook them a few extra minutes. Few ingredients and great flavor for a simple weekday meal. Read More
