Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless, trimmed fat
- salt sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- oregano dried, to taste
- basil dried, to taste
- mozzarella cheese thickly sliced

- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar reduced
- basil fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Season the chicken thighs with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil, to taste, evenly over both sides.
- 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.
- 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.
- While the chicken is baking for the last five minutes, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Boil and let the balsamic vinegar reduce down for a few minutes, or until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and drizzle over the chicken. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately. Enjoy.
