Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
4 to 5 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, optional, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, carefully add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Sauté garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
Combine the chicken and sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the tomatoes. Spoon some of the tomato mixture over the chicken, ensuring it gets coated in the delicious juices.
Add mozzarella: Slice the fresh mozzarella and lay it over the chicken pieces. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
Serve: Once the mozzarella is melted, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic Tomato Chicken with Mozzarella!
