From the Test Kitchen

In this hearty, Italian-inspired dish, seared chicken breasts (coated with melty mozzarella) simmer in a robust tomato sauce flavored with garlic, roasted red peppers, and a traditional blend of herbs. You'll top it off with a layer of peppery arugula for a fresh, vibrant finish.
