Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 skinless bone-in free range organic chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced)
  • 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
  • fresh basil leaves (chopped)
  • Balsamic glaze

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, add chicken and season with the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large and oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Sear the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes each side and until the chicken is golden brown on top.
  • Add 1 cup of the tomatoes in the skillet and place the skillet in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. The chicken has to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Top each chicken with mozzarella cheese. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
  • Serve immediately, drizzled with the balsamic glaze and garnished with basil and more fresh cherry tomato if desired.
