Smoked Mozzarella Skillet Chicken
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (8-ounce) package smoked mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- Place chicken breasts on a work surface; cover with waxed paper.
- Pound each breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness; sprinkle both sides with oregano, onion powder, and salt.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add breasts; cook for about 4 minutes.
- Flip; cook about 3 minutes more.
- Top breasts with sliced mozzarella.
- Cover the skillet; cook until the cheese has melted and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165°F.
- Transfer breasts to plates; cool for 1 minute before serving.
