Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil torn
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with salt and sear in olive oil until golden and nearly cooked through.
  2. Lay tomato slices and then mozzarella on top of each breast.
  3. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
  4. Transfer to plates and scatter with torn basil.
  5. Finish with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

Pat the tomatoes dry so they don't water down the pan.
