1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the airline chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Chicken
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3
Prepare the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the pomodoro sauce and bring to a simmer. Add chopped basil and stir well.
4
Combine and Bake
Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each breast. Top with shredded asiago and mozzarella cheese. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
5
Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
