Ingredients
- ½ jar (about 12 oz) Rao’s Pasta Sauce of choice
- 8 oz Triumph of Cheese Mozzarella Ball
- ¼ c vegetable oil* (if using stovetop)
- 4 Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets
- Veggie steamer bag of choice
- Fresh basil*
- 6 Garlic Knots
Directions
Add the sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer to warm through.
Slice mozzarella into slices about ¼-inch thick.
Stovetop: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium heat until hot, 2-3 minutes. Carefully add the chicken cutlets and pan-fry on both sides until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.** Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed, so as not to crowd the pan. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F. Cook chicken cutlets for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until cooked through.**
While chicken is cooking, microwave the veggie steamer bag according to package directions.Caution: Steamer bag will be hot and may release steam when opened.
Place cooked chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan and top each cutlet with a spoonful of sauce. Top each cutlet with one or two slices of fresh mozzarella. Reserve remaining sauce.
Preheat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from heating element. Broil chicken until cheese is golden brown and sauce begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven.
To Serve: Place chicken on plate, and pour over remaining sauce. Top with fresh basil* if desired and serve alongside veggies and garlic knots.
For Garlic Knots: (Ready to eat. Heating instructions follow, if desired.) Wrap garlic knots in foil and place in 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
