Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 4 minutes on the first side, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cherry tomatoes, garlic, and italian seasoning. Toss to combine.
- Layer 2 pieces of mozzarella and 2-3 slices of roma tomato on each piece of chicken (or as many as it takes to cover the chicken).
- Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake it for 8-10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- (Optional) To crisp the tomato and mozzarella, broil it on high heat for 2-3 minutes or until your desired doneness.
- Sprinkle over the basil leaves and drizzle over the balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Store chicken caprese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer (without the cheese and tomato topping) for up to 3 months.
