Ingredients
- 2 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1 (8-ounce) package mozzarella cheese cut into 4 thick slices
- 1 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- balsamic glaze
- fresh basil torn or chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a medium skillet set over medium heat. Arrange chicken breasts in the skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake until juices run clear when pricked with a knife and the internal temperature registers 165º F when checked with an internal thermometer, about 20 minutes.
- Arrange the cheese on top of the chicken breasts and top with the cherry tomato halves and return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with basil glaze and basil leaves for serving. Salt and pepper to taste.
