Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Season and sear the chicken in olive oil, about 5 minutes per side.
  2. Top each breast with tomato and mozzarella slices.
  3. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts and the chicken hits 165°F.
  4. Transfer to plates and scatter fresh basil over the top.
  5. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.

Notes

A quick broil melts the mozzarella perfectly if your pan isn't oven-safe.
