Ingredients
2- 5oz Chicken Breasts
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 Tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 Tsp Dried Basil
2 oz Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1/2 Cup Roma Tomatoes, thinly sliced
6 Basil Leaves
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 Tsp Brown Sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut 3/4 of the way through the chicken breast to create a pocket. Season each breast with salt, pepper, dried oregano and basil.
Fill each breast with 1 oz mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup tomatoes and 3 basil leaves. Seal with toothpicks.
Heat olive oil in large pan, add chicken and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or slightly golden.
While chicken is cooking mix together garlic, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small bowl. Incorporate this mixture in with the chicken. Bring to a simmer and allow sauce to thicken.
Transfer chicken and sauce into a baking dish and put into the oven to cook for another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through and cheese has melted.
Drizzle chicken with juice from the pan and remove toothpicks before serving.
