INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1 medium Tomato
Fresh Basil Leaves (handful)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for tomato)
1 tsp Extra Olive Oil (for drizzling over chicken)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt, pepper, and your preferred dried herbs to enhance flavor.
Heat a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, slice the tomato into thick rounds and arrange on a small baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until softened.
Once the chicken is nearly done, top it with the shredded mozzarella and return the skillet to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and plate the chicken breast, topping it with roasted tomato slices and fresh basil leaves.
Finish with a light drizzle of extra olive oil over the dish and serve immediately.
