This was a delicious choice for the summer. I used fresh basil and tomatoes from my garden, and the result was a really simple, refreshing meal. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes. Using a good quality balsamic vinegar is also important – there are many types that are infused with flavors that would be interesting to try.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- Olive oil, 2-3 tbs
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, good quality.
- Fresh basil
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half.
- Mozzarella, fresh and thinly sliced. (you may substitute shredded)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step one:
Heat olive oil on medium heat. Salt and pepper the chicken liberally. Cook chicken for six minutes on each side, and then remove from heat.
Step two:
Saute garlic in the balsamic vinegar for several minutes, until softened. Add the basil and tomatoes and cook it down for 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Step three:
Add the chicken back in the pan, and thinly sliced mozzarella on top. Cook for 6-8 more minutes or until the mozzarella is melted, and serve. Enjoy!
