Oil grill pan. Use high-heat. When grill pan is hot, place chicken skin side down. Cook five to seven minutes. Do not move the chicken. Leave it alone. Start cooking mushrooms separately in a little olive oil. When chicken is done on first side, carefully flip to other side without tearing skin. Cook Five minutes more and remove. 

 

While chicken cooks on other side, heat marinade reserve in separate pan and add a tbsp of flour to thicken. Place chicken in reserve and add slice of fresh mozz to top of each thigh.
