Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
4 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella
1 cup pesto sauce
2 cups cherry tomatoes (quartered)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Season the chicken breasts with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and brown it on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate. Turn down the heat, add the white wine to the pan, and deglaze it by scraping at the browned bits on the bottom. Add the butter, garlic and lemon juice as well. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the butter is completely melted and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan and top each piece with an equal amount of the fresh mozzarella. Place it in the preheated oven until the top of the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  • Top each chicken breast with an equal amount of the pesto, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with a side salad, pasta, or bread to make it a complete meal.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Chicken

Time 4h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
4 fresh basil leaves, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 slices mozzarella cheese
¼ cup basil pesto

Steps:

  • Gently pound chicken breasts into even thickness using the smooth side of a meat mallet, about 1/2 inch thick. Place chicken into a resealable plastic bag.
  • Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over chicken, coat evenly, and marinate for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Combine cherry tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and grill with the lid closed for 4 minutes. Flip chicken and grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Top each breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of pesto, then top with cherry tomatoes. Close lid on grill and continue grilling until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 3 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Using a spatula, carefully remove chicken to a serving platter.

SAUTEED CHICKEN MARGHERITA



Sauteed Chicken Margherita image

Tender chicken breasts get loads of flavor from a simple pan sauce of white wine, onion and tasty drippings. I like to use thin breasts for this dish so it cooks faster in the skillet.
