2 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
