A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a cheesy topping, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture for the dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Stir in diced red bell pepper and tomatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more herbs if desired.
Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Ensure the cheese covers the entire surface for a golden, bubbly topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden crust, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
