Step 8: Arrange the chicken fillets into the prepared pan.
Step 9: Place the pan inside the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to turn the chicken fillets halfway through to cook the other side.
Step 10: Remove the chicken fillets from the oven and spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce over and top it with 1 slice of Mozzarella cheese.
Step 11: Put it back inside the oven and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes or until the cheese has melted completely.
