Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Once the chicken is seared, remove the skillet from heat. Layer the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
