📝 Preparation Steps

Step

Preheat the oven to broil.

For the marinated tomatoes: In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes with the oil, pesto, and balsamic glaze. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step

For the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and add to the skillet. Cook until golden and just cooked through, about ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Top each piece of chicken with a large basil leaf and a slice of fresh mozzarella. Transfer to the broiler, and cook until the mozzarella is melted, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
