Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparing the Chicken

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Take the chicken breasts and, using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, pound them to an even thickness. This not only helps them cook uniformly but also makes them tender, much like how Sinatra’s voice softens hearts.
  • Put salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken totaste.

Sautéing the Veggies

  • Put olive oil in a big pan and heat it over medium-low heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan, sautéing until they’re just starting to soften.
  • Throw in the bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until they’re tender and singing with flavor.

Bringing Chicken Sinatra Together

  • Put half of the vegetables in a separate bowl. Place the chicken breasts in the pan, adding them to the remaining veggies.
  • Cook each side for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and almost cooked through.
  • Spread the veggies that were set aside around the chicken in the pan, then pour the tomato sauce over everything.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by a dash of Italian seasoning.

Baking to Perfection

  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Take off the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbling.
  • Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
