Place the prepared chicken breast into the oven and bake for 40 minutes. The chicken should be mostly cooked through at this point.
Remove the chicken from the oven, cover it with the mozzarella cheese, and return it to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. To ensure doneness, check the internal temperature with a thermometer; it should read 160 °F. If it's not quite there, continue baking for a few more minutes.
Let the chicken cool slightly before serving, perhaps with a side salad.
