Description
A delicious one-pan meal featuring tender chicken glazed with a rich balsamic sauce, combined with cherry tomatoes and melty mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls
- 1 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before placing them in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar over the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer.

- Top each piece of chicken with fresh mozzarella and basil, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese is melting and bubbly.

Notes
Always check the internal temperature of the chicken, aiming for 165°F to ensure doneness. You can also substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
