This is what is for dinner tonight! It is a margarita/bruschetta flavor chicken. If you love garlic, basil and fresh mozzarella you will love this!
Serve with pasta and or salad- or alone! I served with plant based protein/ high fiber pasta, delish! Balsamic reduction adds a pop of flavor, super easy to make, but totally optional depending on your taste. Takes about 30-40 min including prep.
Prep your basil, tomatoes, garlic and cheese
1. Butterfly chicken breasts and season both sides with garlic salt and Italian seasoning
2. Put in pan with a bit of olive oil and cook, flipping once a bit browned, till almost cooked through
If you want pasta with it, cook pasta at the same time chicken is cooking.
Pre Heat oven to 375
In a separate sauté pan, add a bit of olive oil, add diced tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh garlic, bit of salt, and sauté till tomatoes soften
Once chicken is just about fully cooked, stack on fresh basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella, and then pour on cooked tomato mixture
Put pan into the oven to finish off cooking and melt the cheese for about 10 minutes at 375
While the chicken is finishing in the oven, start your balsamic reduction. Just pour balsamic vinegar in a pan, heat on medium, until it starts bubbling- and keep stirring- it will thicken. Once cooked down to about a 1/3rd the starting amount, take off heat and it will thicken more, and become a tasty drizzle.
Serve your plate and drizzle reduction on top, or on the whole thing, why not! And then ENJOY!
