Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breast boneless, skinless
0 salt to taste
0 pepper to taste
0 Italian seasoning to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 large tomato sliced
8 oz mozzarella sliced
0.25 cup basil fresh leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
0 bread crusty, for serving

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temperature). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of tomato and mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Drizzle the chicken with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad.
