Ingredients
  

  • 4 thin chicken breasts
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook 5 minutes per side until cooked through.
  2. Top each breast with tomato and mozzarella slices, cover, and cook 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  3. Rest 2 minutes, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and scatter over basil.
  4. Serve with salad, bread, or pasta.

Notes

Thin chicken breasts cook evenly — pound thicker ones to 1/2 inch first.
