  • 1 tablepsoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves crushed garlic
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella
  • balsamic glaze, to finish

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350, and season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    Combine flour, salt and pepper, and dried basil in a shallow dish. Toss chicken through to coat, shaking off excess.

  • Step 3

    Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet, and cook chicken for about five minutes, then flip to get color on both sides.

  • Step 4

    Add crushed garlic to pan.

  • Step 5

    Add white wine, chicken stock, and bring to a boil for a few minuets.

  • Step 6

    Reduce to simmer, and add balsamic vinegar, and cherry tomatoes.

  • Step 7

    Transfer pan to oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken has cooked through. You could also simmer on the stove top if you prefer.

  • Step 8

    Once chicken has cooked, add chopped basil, and a slice of fresh mozzarella on each piece of chicken.

  • Step 9

    Allow to set, until cheese has melted. If needed, broil on low for a few minutes to reheat before serving, or help the cheese melt.

  • Step 10

    Give a final drizzle of balsamic glaze over everything. Serve with crusty, toasted bread or over a fresh salad.
