Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Step 2

Coat the chicken in the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a large, cast iron skillet (a Dutch oven or casserole dish would work, too).

Step 3

Place the chicken in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, slice the tomato and mozzarella ball into thin slices.

Step 5

Once the 15 minutes have passed, add the tomato slices on top of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the oven again, place the mozzarella over the tomato and chicken and place back in the oven for a final 8-10 minutes to melt the cheese and cook the chicken. When finished, the chicken should be 165F internally.

Step 7

To serve, drizzle on some balsamic reduction and top with torn, fresh basil leaves.
