Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts (around 9oz....adjust according to family size as we definitely had enough sauce and seasoning for more chicken)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic (fresh is amazingly good in this)
2 cups cut tomatoes (cherry tomatoes halved are perfect)
1/4 cup onion peeled and sliced (we left this out since they upset my pregnant stomach, but still so good...just used some onion powder)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
3/4 cups shredded mozzarella
Optional to garnish with fresh basil....we didn't have any and, as said above, still delicious!
Easy instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 430
2) In 9x13 pan pour the olive oil and place chicken into the oil coated pan. Then sprinkle on oregano, basil, salt pepper, minced garlic, and onions if you want and coat chicken with the oil and various spices. Then place halved tomatoes in the dish around the chicken (and onion if you are including them)
3) Whisk together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a pinch of garlic and pour over chicken and tomatoes (flip chicken to get on both sides).
4) Pop in oven for 20-25 minutes...(basically you want your chicken temperature to get to 160-170 degrees so it took ours closer to 35 minutes)
5) When the chicken is fully cooked, pull it out and sprinkle it with mozzarella cheese and then put the chicken back in the oven 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh basil.
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.... We LOVED it over garlic mashed potatoes....and since we're in quarantine...nobody cares that we smell like garlic! Win-win. We made a craisin salad on the side and it was the best "we-couldn't-have-ham-for-Easter" meal we ever had 😊🍲
Enjoy!
That sounds sooooo tasty!
