Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast pounded to even thickness or sliced in half lengthwise
- ¼ cup balsamic dressing
- 2 teaspoons Seasoning*
- 8 slices fresh mozzarella
- 2-4 tomatoes sliced
- Fresh basil optional
Instructions
- Place the prepared chicken breast in a container with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and season both sides with 1 ½ teaspoons Livia’s seasoning.
- Heat a skillet, or grill pan, to medium high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking tray. Top each chicken breast with mozzarella cheese and tomato slices. Sprinkle with the remaining Livia’s seasoning.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Optionally add basil and more balsamic dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
For the seasoning, I like an all purpose seasoning like Livia's or Dan-O's. You can also use salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
