CENE AL FORNO

Method

CENE AL FORNO

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by prepping all your ingredients. Chop the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Slice the mushrooms, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and add it to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 4

    Add the Mushrooms and Sausage

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Then, return the cooked sausage to the skillet.

  5. 5

    Combine with Marinara Sauce

    Pour in the marinara sauce, black olives, and capers. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the sauce simmers, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    In a large baking dish, place the seasoned chicken breasts. Pour the marinara sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure they are well covered.

  8. 8

    Add Cheese and Bake

    Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken and sauce. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  9. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
