Panasonic Recipe ☆ Baked Caprese Chicken

This is a simple yet amazing Caprese chicken made with fresh basil, grape tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Serve with a side salad or a side of pasta.

Ingredients

• ½ cup oil and vinegar dressing, divided
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 bunch fresh basil, thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Pour 1/4 cup dressing into a small bowl.
3. Arrange chicken breasts evenly in the center of a grill pan. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with dressing; season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour remaining 1/4 cup dressing into a mixing bowl. Add tomatoes and basil. Toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
5. Spread the tomato mixture evenly around chicken in a single layer.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and top chicken with fresh mozzarella; return pan to oven.
7. Continue baking until mozzarella cheese is golden brown and bubbly and chicken is fully cooked, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
