An easy way to dress up chicken breasts, this recipe incorporates a tasty smoked mozzarella cheese. Cooked in a cast iron skillet, you can keep your oven off and your kitchen cool!
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.

I did not change a thing except the rest time after cooking. Any meat/chicken that is that thin needs no rest time to distribute any juices. Get on the table and a minute will pass before the drinks are poured. I will make this recipe again very soon.
For easiness and fastness this recipe wins all over the place. Will make it again and will try it with regular mozzarella or provolone to make up for those days when I may not have the smoked mozzarella!
Very easy to make and the smoked mozzarella was delicious. Served it with twice baked potatoes and a spinach salad. Very quick.
