Ingredients
Scale
For the Balsamic Glaze:
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the Chicken:
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella
- 2 cups grape tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 lb chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, pounded to even thickness)
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Tear mozzarella into pieces with your hands. Add in the grape tomatoes and chopped basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss all of the ingredients together to combine.
- Heat up a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it heat up.
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, and add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Give the balsamic vinegar mixture another swirl and pour it over the chicken. Let it come to a simmer, and scrape off any browning off the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat, cover the chicken with the mozzarella mixture, and bake in the oven uncovered for 18-23 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Let it sit for 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
