Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
