Baked Caprese Chicken
Ingredients
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Himalayan Salt, to taste
Pepper
6-8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese – Cut into 8 slices
2 Roma Tomatoes – Sliced
1/4 cup Casil Leaves – Chopped
For the Balsamic Glaze
1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 tbsp Stevia
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400.
In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp olive oil, dried basil & dried oregano; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using a fork, dip chicken breasts into the mixture. Make sure to coat evenly on both sides.
Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Place into the oven and bake until chicken is completely cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, make the balsamic glaze. To make the glaze, mix balsamic vinegar and stevia to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a slight boil and reduce by half, about 7 minutes; set aside and let cool.
After the chicken is cooked, top each chicken breast with a tomato slice & mozzarella cheese, then place back into the oven on broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve, topped with fresh basil and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
