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 kosher salt
  • 1 lb fresh green beans

Method

  1. Pound the breasts to an even half-inch thickness. Rub with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt.

  2. Simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small pan over medium-low until it thickens to a syrup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.

  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high and cook the chicken 5 minutes per side until well marked and cooked through.

  4. Lay tomato slices and mozzarella over each piece, cover the pan, and cook 2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. Steam or blanch the green beans until crisp-tender and season with salt.

  6. Scatter torn basil over the chicken and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
