ROASTED CAPRESE CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Season the chicken generously with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper
• Place the chicken in a cast iron skillet or in a baking dish (a baking sheet won't allow proper simmering and sauce making)
• Top the chicken with fresh tomatoes and chopped garlic
• Drizzle with balsamic vinegar
• Bake for approximately 20-22 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 160 degrees**you're going to broil this a little longer towards the end so we want to make sure it's not going to overcook
• When almost done, remove from the oven (if using a cast iron skillet, remember NOT to grab the handle without a mitt!)
• Set oven to broil
• Top chicken with cheese and USING THE OVEN MITT (I feel I need to remind you because I may or may not have forgotten this myself...)
• Broil for about 5 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly
• Remove and spoon the tomato balsamic sauce onto the chicken
• Top with fresh basil
• Serve with your favorite side dish!
