Description

A quick and flavorful skillet chicken dish with balsamic vinegar, fresh tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the balsamic mixture over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden brown.
  4. Top each chicken breast with sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. You can also use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
