Serves: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 4 chicken breasts)
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, packed
  • 1½ cups grape or cherry tomatoes, divided
  • ½ pound fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
  • ¼ cup fresh shredded basil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Season each chicken breast with the oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
  3. In an ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides until golden brown.
  4. Transfer chicken to a plate; drain most of the excess oil, leaving about a teaspoon worth in pan. Return the skillet back to the stove; fry garlic for 1 minute.
  5. Add the vinegar and brown sugar; stirring to combine while heating through. Bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally, until balsamic glaze has thickened.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, turning in the glaze to evenly coat.
  7. Add tomatoes, around the chicken and place the chicken into the oven. Bake until the chicken is completely cooked through (about 18 minutes).
  8. Remove pan from oven and top each chicken with a slice of mozzarella cheese; return back into the oven for a further 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  9. Plate the chicken with melted cheese on your dinner plate and top balsamic and tomatoes on top of chicken. Garnish with basil.
