Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
oregano, to taste
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tomato, medium
5 leaves fresh basil leaf
1 cup dark balsamic vinegar, inexpensive
⅓ cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, season both sides of the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a sauce pot and simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • NOTE: It should take about 20 minutes for the mixture to reduce.
  • Once the glaze has reached your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and set aside.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and top with slices of mozzarella and tomato.
  • Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tomatoes are slightly charred.
  • While the chicken is broiling, you can chiffonade (cut into thin strips) the basil.
  • Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and top with basil.
  • Enjoy!
