Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- Chopped basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the chicken in a 9×13 inch baking pan, ready to soak up all those festive flavors.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Add the cherry tomatoes around the chicken and place the sliced tomatoes on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. For the last 5 minutes of baking, add the mozzarella cheese on top to melt and create a deliciously gooey layer.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped basil for a festive touch.
