Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- fresh basil, to taste
- 2 vine ripened tomatoes, sliced into 1/2" slices
- 4 5-7 oz chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- 2 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 8 even pieces
- aged balsamic or balsamic glaze, to taste
- 2 tsp sea or kosher salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken. Place one chicken breast onto a sheet of parchment paper. Fold the paper over the chicken. Using a rolling pin, pound the chicken breast to even thickness of a little less than 1". Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Combine the italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle with the seasoning blend. Flip the chicken oven, then oil and season the other side.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Place the chicken breasts onto the grill and cook 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 155°F using an instant read thermometer (the chicken will come to proper temperature in the next step).
- Top each chicken breast with 2 slices fresh mozzarella. Continue grilling 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reads 165°F.
- Place the chicken breasts onto a platter or individual plates. Top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of fresh tomatoes, then sprinkle with fresh basil and additional salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.
