Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, and salt. Let chill in the fridge.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts about 4-6 minutes per side until done. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast and cover to melt the cheese. Remove from heat.
- Add a 1/2 tablespoon of basil pesto on top of each slice of cheese and add the tomato mixture on top. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Notes
- The chicken breasts should be thin. If they are thick (like the Costco frozen chicken breasts) slice them in half lengthwise. For this recipe, I use two Costco chicken breasts halved.
