Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear each piece for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
