Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 8 oz. mozzarella ball
  • About 1-2 Tbsp. balsamic reduction
  • About 10 basil leaves

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Coat the chicken in the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a large, cast iron skillet (a Dutch oven or casserole dish would work, too).
  • Place the chicken in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the tomato and mozzarella ball into thin slices.
  • Once the 15 minutes have passed, add the tomato slices on top of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven again, place the mozzarella over the tomato and chicken and place back in the oven for a final 8-10 minutes to melt the cheese and cook the chicken. When finished, the chicken should be 165F internally.
  • To serve, drizzle on some balsamic reduction and top with torn, fresh basil leaves.
