Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Use a thin, sharp knife to slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted into the olive oil, add the chicken breasts to the pan, being careful not to crowd. Cook on each side until lightly browned and easily release from the pan, about 3-4 minutes each.
- Slather the tops of each chicken breast with the basil pesto, about 1-2 tablespoons per chicken breast. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella and a few slices of tomato. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Steps:
- Combine the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken breasts. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 4 minutes on one side.
- After flipping the chicken, add two slices of mozzarella cheese and top with two slices of tomato and grill for 4 minutes longer or until the mozzarella melts. (Thick chicken breasts may require 2-3 minutes longer grilling time.)
- Remove the chicken from the grill once it's done cooking or has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. Then let the chicken rest. Add a pinch of fresh basil and drizzle each chicken breast with the balsamic glaze.

- Prepare all the ingredients first. Cut the grape tomatoes into quarters, finely dice the red onion, and slice the basil leaves into thin strips. You should also drain the mozzarella balls and put them aside.
- Place olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. As the skillet heats up, season the prepared chicken breasts with the garlic powder and Italian seasoning, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Add to the hot skillet and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through, around 3-4 minutes per side.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix the balsamic vinegar and the maple syrup in a small saucepan and set it over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture thickens and darkens in color, approximately 5-6 minutes. Keep stirring until the liquid is reduced by half.
- In a medium-sized but deep bowl, toss together the grape tomatoes, red onion, mozzarella balls, and the basil leaves. Mix until well-combined, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

- Heat the oil (or cooking spray) in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; drain most of the excess oil, leaving about a teaspoon worth.
- Return the skillet back to the stove; fry garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the vinegar and brown sugar; stirring to combine while heating through. Bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally, until glaze has thickened (about 5-6 minutes).
