1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tomatoes, sliced
¼ cup fresh basil leaves

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tbsp balsamic glaze

Steps

Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Sear in hot oil for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
Top each breast with mozzarella and tomato slices.
Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

Serve with: zucchini noodles or a green salad.

Cover the pan for the last minute so the mozzarella melts without overcooking the chicken.
