Place chicken flat in a small baking dish and top with pasta sauce. Cover loosely with foil and bake 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and bake uncovered another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted well. ***Use baking time to prepare pasta according to package directions*** (baking times will vary depending on your oven)
