Juicy chicken breasts topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and melted mozzarella, drizzled with balsamic reduction.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 chicken breasts or chicken cutlets
  • Seasoned salt and black pepper
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 medium garlic clove, finely minced or pressed
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Balsamic Reduction: Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened and reduced by about half, roughly 20 minutes. The reduction should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Make the Bruschetta Topping: In a medium bowl, combine all the bruschetta topping ingredients. Stir well, cover, and set aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
  3. Preheat the Broiler: Position an oven rack directly under the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with nonstick spray or oil. Season the chicken on both sides with seasoned salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden on the first side, about 2–4 minutes depending on thickness. Lower the heat to medium, flip, and cook until the chicken is nearly cooked through, 4–6 minutes more. Cover briefly if needed to prevent over-browning.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of bruschetta topping over each piece of chicken, then top evenly with mozzarella cheese.
  6. Broil to Perfection: Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook just until the cheese is melted and bubbly, a minute or two.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken drizzled with balsamic reduction, with extra bruschetta topping on the side. Enjoy every mouthful of this extraordinary dish!

Notes

For juicier chicken, consider brining the chicken in saltwater for an hour before cooking. Use in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
