INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1.5 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
5 leaves Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden, crispy exterior forms.
While the chicken is searing, toss the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
Transfer the tomato mixture to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften and begin to caramelize.
Once the chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the oven (or place the chicken in a separate oven-safe dish) and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
In the last 2 minutes of baking, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and return to the oven just until the cheese melts.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
