Caprese Chicken - Genuis recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 4 fillets
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 8 slices
• 2 tbsp light butter (I used Brummel & Brown)
• 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-2 tbsp fat free chicken broth
• Approx. 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Generously season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, cover, and sauté about 5-8 minutes per side, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
2. While chicken is cooking, melt remaining tbsp of butter in another nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, and 1-2 tbsp chicken broth, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to soften and wrinkle, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the basil and turn off the heat.
3. Once chicken is cooked through, turn heat to medium, top each piece with two slices of the mozzarella, pour the tomatoes over the top of the chicken, cover and cook just until mozzarella is melted, about 2 minutes.
4. Place on serving plates, and top with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
