Savor the flavors of a delicious one-pan Caprese-style balsamic chicken. Made with a tangy balsamic marinade, this tender chicken is topped with juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil for a healthy and satisfying meal.
In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring the chicken is well-coated, cover the bowl, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a separate bowl, toss together halved grape tomatoes, halved mozzarella balls, and finely chopped fresh basil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then set aside.
5
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and add to the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden brown. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper while cooking.

Remove the skillet from heat, top the chicken with the tomato-mozzarella mixture, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through.

Take the skillet out of the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
