- Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
- Transfer to oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is cooked through. Brush with the remaining dressing after the first 10 minutes while cooking.
- Rest for 3-5 minutes before serving, moisten with the juices in the skillet.
Notes:
– if you do not want to fry the chicken breast, you can put it directly in the oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes.
– if you prepare only two pieces of chicken breast, 15-18 minutes are enough for baking.
