Your dishwasher will thank you for this easy one-sheet weeknight dinner-- no prep bowls needed! Juicy roasted tomatoes and cheesy chicken breasts get a hint of brightness from fresh basil and a balsamic reduction.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pints cherry tomatoes
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
One 1-pound ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into 6 rounds
10 fresh basil leaves, torn
Baby arugula, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and use your fingers to evenly spread it out and coat the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Scatter the cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet and shake it back and forth so they become evenly coated in the oil and seasoning. Arrange the chicken in the center of the baking sheet, pushing the tomatoes out to the perimeter, and drizzle the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Bake until the tomatoes are soft, blistered and begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the vinegar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the vinegar has reduced by half and is thick enough to coat back of the spoon, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drape a slice of mozzarella over each chicken breast. Bake until the cheese melts and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast has reached 160 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes (the chicken will carryover cook to 165 F).
  • Sprinkle the chicken and tomatoes with the basil and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Spoon the collected pan juices over the tomatoes and chicken. Serve on a bed of arugula and with crusty bread to mop up the pan juices.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, PANCETTA AND MOZZARELLA



Skillet Chicken With Tomatoes, Pancetta and Mozzarella image

With a topping of tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, it's no wonder that I always think of this easy skillet dish as "pizza chicken." It's a tangy, milky, gooey, lovable meal that's somewhat reminiscent of chicken Parmesan, but with succulent bone-in chicken pieces instead of breaded and fried cutlets. Even better, it has pancetta and anchovies for complexity of flavor, and the whole thing comes together in under an hour.

Categories     one pot, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (or use a 3 1/2 pound chicken cut into 8 pieces)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces pancetta, diced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 anchovy fillets
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (28-ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
1 large basil sprig, plus more chopped basil for serving
8 ounces bocconcini, halved (or use mozzarella cut into 3/4-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large oven-proof skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Add chicken to skillet. Sear, turning only occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Add garlic, anchovy and red pepper flakes to skillet; fry 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and basil. Cook, breaking up tomatoes with a spatula, until sauce thickens somewhat, about 10 minutes.
  • Return chicken to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink, about 30 minutes.
  • Scatter bocconcini or mozzarella pieces over skillet. Adjust oven temperature to broil. Return skillet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes (watch carefully to see that it does not burn). Garnish with pancetta and chopped basil before serving.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH JAMMY TOMATOES AND PANCETTA



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta image

In this relatively speedy sheet-pan dinner, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are seasoned with a savory, cumin-scented spice mix and roasted with whole garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes, which turn soft and sweet in the oven's heat. If you have ripe summer cherry tomatoes, you can skip the brown sugar. If you'd rather use boneless chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time by about 5 to 7 minutes. This makes a light meal on its own, but you can add rice or crusty bread, and maybe a salad, if you need something more substantial.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
9 whole unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon sweet or smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pint cherry tomatoes (preferably different colors), halved
2 ounces diced pancetta or bacon
1/4 cup torn fresh dill, parsley or other herbs, for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken all over with salt, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Smash all the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and peel them. Finely grate one garlic clove and put it in a small bowl. Stir in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, paprika, oregano, brown sugar (if using) and cumin. Pour over chicken, tossing to coat.
  • Add tomatoes and remaining smashed, peeled garlic cloves to baking sheet, spreading them out around the chicken. Season tomatoes lightly with salt and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Scatter pancetta on top.
  • Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the tomatoes and pancetta, but don't disturb the chicken.
  • Transfer chicken to plates. Stir the tomatoes and pancetta around in the pan, scraping up all the delicious browned bits from the bottom and sides, and stir in the herbs and black pepper to taste. Taste and add salt, if needed, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if you like. Spoon tomatoes, garlic and pancetta over the chicken to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, juicy chicken breasts, and creamy mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts and tomatoes so that they can cook evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the chicken and tomatoes until they are browned: This will give them a delicious caramelized flavor. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese at the end of cooking: This will help it melt and bubble without burning.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. The chicken will be juicy and tender, the tomatoes will be roasted and flavorful, and the mozzarella cheese will be melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

This sheet pan chicken with tomatoes and mozzarella is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and can be on the table in under an hour. Plus, it's a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Serve it with a side of roasted potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
