Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken

We like the touch of heat that pepperoncini give to this briny chicken, but if you really want to turn up the spiciness, swap them for hot cherry peppers.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ⅓ cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
  • ⅓ cup chopped salami
  • ¼ cup chopped pepperoncini
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
  • 1 pound chicken cutlets
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
