written by The Recipe Exchange | December 21, 2024

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts
2 Roma tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or goat cheese
½ cup balsamic syrup
2 tablespoon basil
salt and pepper
olive oil

Directions

Start by pounding your chicken breasts thin between two pieces of plastic wrap. Trim off any fat.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high and drizzle with olive oil.

Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides and place in hot skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side depending on how thick they are. You want to get some good browning on each side.

When chicken is cooked through drizzle with the balsamic syrup, top with the mozzarella and tomato. Turn off heat, put lid on and let the cheese melt for a minute of two.

Serve with more balsamic syrup if desired. Top with additional fresh basil.
