Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil, to taste, evenly over both sides.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the hot pan and cook, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Flip the chicken over and place it into the oven for 15 minutes; add the slices of mozzarella and tomato slice then place back into the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 175 degrees. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  5. While the chicken is baking for the last five minutes, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Boil and let the balsamic vinegar reduce down for a few minutes, or until it coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and drizzle over the chicken. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately. Enjoy.
