Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the chicken is even cooked.
- While it's warming up, season two boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.chicken breasts, Salt, Pepper, Olive oil
- Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken breasts. Sear them for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Don't rush this step; browning adds depth of flavour.
- Next, layer fresh mozzarella slices on top of each breast, followed by ripe tomato slices and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over everything.Fresh mozzarella slices, Ripe tomato slices, Fresh basil leaves, Balsamic glaze
