Marinated Chicken Breasts With Mozzarella image

This is a wonderful way to fix chicken breasts so they are healthy but still taste good. The chicken turns out very moist thanks to the marinating time. Basil, known to ancient Greeks as the royal herb, adds a bright summery flavor to this Mediterranean-influenced dish. Recipe is from Woman's Day.
