Huma’s Chicken Parmesan ✨💕👩‍🍳 This recipe that does not use the oven and does not require frying or bread crumbing and is to make it more healthy …

Ingredients:-

1. 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2. 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
3. 2 cups fresh tomatoes, puréed (or canned crushed tomatoes)
4. 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
5. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6. 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
7. Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
8. 1/2 cup basil pesto sauce
9. Olive oil, for cooking
10. Salt and pepper, to taste




















Instructions:-
1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the puréed fresh tomatoes. Stir in the red chili flakes and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the tomato sauce over each piece.
6. Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken, and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the mozzarella.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the basil pesto sauce over the top of the chicken.
9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
10. Serve the Chicken Parmesan hot, with additional tomato sauce on the side if desired. Serve with brown rice or garlic bread 😋
