This was a quicker meal then I thought it would be, easy to make on a busy night!

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 thinly sliced chicken breasts (1 lb)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 cup crushed tomatoes (I used 1 large beefy tomato in a food processor) 2 cups if you are serving this with zoodles or pasta
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ( this does make it spicy, omit if you don't like)
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 T of Fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Add olive oil to an oven safe skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Saute chicken until fully cooked, flipping halfway, about 4 minutes on each side.
Add in sliced garlic and saute for a minute; Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer for a few minutes while sauce thickens.
Turn off the heat and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately!
