Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
- 6 oz shredded mozzarella
- 1 lb vine tomatoes
- 1/2 oz fresh basil
- 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp italian seasoning blend
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 lb fresh green beans
Method
Pound the breasts to an even half-inch thickness. Rub with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small pan over medium-low until it thickens to a syrup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high and cook the chicken 5 minutes per side until well marked and cooked through.
Lay tomato slices and mozzarella over each piece, cover the pan, and cook 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Steam or blanch the green beans until crisp-tender and season with salt.
Scatter torn basil over the chicken and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
