Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 oz. fresh mozzarella
- 8 thin tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- Flatten the chicken breast so it is all the same thickness and will cook evenly. Place the chicken breast on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound starting at the thickest part of the chicken breast.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and top each one with 1 oz. of fresh mozzarella. Put the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so the cheese doesn't burn.
- Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of tomato, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
