Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then add them to the skillet.
- Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Pour balsamic vinegar over the chicken and bring to a simmer.
- Place halved cherry tomatoes on top of the chicken, finished with mozzarella cheese.

- Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, swap the mozzarella for another cheese like feta. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
