Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour balsamic glaze over the top.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

Make sure to season the chicken breasts well to enhance the flavor. For extra moisture, you can marinate the chicken in balsamic glaze for a few hours before cooking. Experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone or cheddar, for varied flavor.
