A delightful weeknight dinner featuring tender chicken breasts topped with rich balsamic glaze and gooey mozzarella cheese.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drizzle olive oil in a large baking dish and lay the chicken breasts flat.
  3. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the chicken until well coated.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of each breast.

Notes

For juicier chicken, marinate the breasts in balsamic glaze and olive oil before cooking. Add crushed red pepper flakes for a kick.
