Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup flour
- Seasoned salt + pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter (or 3 tablespoons olive oil)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chicken seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash's chicken seasoning)
- 1 roma tomato
- 3-4 ounces mozzarella cheese
- Handful of fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons prepared zesty Italian dressing
- Optional: fresh parmesan cheese
Instruction
- Trim the fat from 2-3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts.
- Butterfly (slice in half) the chicken breasts to give them a uniform thickness so they will cook evenly.
- Fill up a bowl with the flour and about 1/2 teaspoon each of seasoned salt and pepper. Dredge the breasts in the flour mixture until evenly covered in flour.
- Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter or olive oil.
- When the butter is completely melted (or the oil sizzling), place the chicken breasts in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to just above medium and cook for 4 minutes.
- Evenly sprinkle (on the breasts) 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning.
- Flip the chicken and sprinkle the remaining Italian seasoning and chicken seasoning on the chicken.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through (the chicken should register 165 degrees with a meat thermometer).
- Meanwhile, slice the roma tomato into thin slices. Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin slices, and slice the fresh basil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and zesty Italian dressing.
- Remove the cooked chicken and top with the cheese, tomatoes, and basil.
- Sprinkle on some salt and pepper if desired and some parmesan cheese if desired (optional).
- Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken right before serving.
