Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, in a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and thinly sliced basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the chicken is browned, remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the tomato mixture over each chicken breast, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of each chicken breast.
If using, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato mixture on each chicken breast.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
