Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium fresh tomatoes (diced)
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften slightly.
Stir in the chopped basil and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.
Top each chicken breast with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, if desired.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and tomatoes for a final garnish.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as garlic bread, pasta, or a fresh green salad.
