Time 20m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 chicken breasts
2 roma tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or goat cheese)
1/2 cup balsamic syrup
1/2 cup basil

Steps:

  • Start by pounding your chicken breasts thin between two pieces of plastic wrap. Trim off any fat.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high.
  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides and place in hot skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes per side depending on how thick they are. You want to get some good browning on each side.
  • When chicken is cooked through drizzle with the balsamic syrup, top with the mozzarella and tomato. Turn off heat, put lid on and let the cheese melt for a minute of two.
  • Top with shredded Basil.
  • Serve with more balsamic syrup if desired.
