Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tbsp grass fed butter or ghee (divided)
  • 3 large cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 4 medium to large chicken breast
  • 1.5 lbs cherry tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp good quality balsamic vinegar
  • 6 oz buffalo mozzarella cheese* (cut into 1/4 inch thick slices)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • Prepare the chicken breast by pounding to less than 1 inch thick. Set aside.
  • Begin by heating a large skillet pan to medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp of butter and crushed garlic. Simmer for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is golden.
  • Add chicken breast. Cook on each side for 2 minutes, until the chicken is golden. It will not be cooked through, set aside for later.
  • Add the other 2 tbsp of butter to the pan, then toss in the cherry tomatoes. Cover the pan, and cook the tomatoes for another 5-7 minutes or until the tomatoes are softened and can be pressed down to make a thick sauce. Mix in 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and salt.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan and cover. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked through.
  • Place mozzarella slices on top of the chicken and cover. Simmer for another few minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Drizzle with remaining balsamic and add fresh basil. Serve warm on top of a salad, with crusty bread, or with pasta.
