- Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
- While chicken cooks, prepare the topping: Slice fresh mozzarella (amount depends on the number of chicken breasts).
- Arrange cooked chicken on a serving platter.
- Top each chicken breast with a slice of fresh mozzarella, a basil leaf, and a slice of tomato.
- Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
