2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
oregano, to taste
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tomato, medium
5 leaves fresh basil leaf
1 cup dark balsamic vinegar, inexpensive
⅓ cup honey

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, season both sides of the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
While the chicken is in the oven, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a sauce pot and simmer, stirring occasionally.
NOTE: It should take about 20 minutes for the mixture to reduce.
Once the glaze has reached your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the oven and top with slices of mozzarella and tomato.
Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tomatoes are slightly charred.
While the chicken is broiling, you can chiffonade (cut into thin strips) the basil.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and top with basil.
Enjoy!

Tips

To make the sauce, you can use fresh or canned tomatoes. If using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the pan.
If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
To make the chicken more flavorful, you can marinate it in the white wine and lemon juice for up to 2 hours before cooking.
Be sure to cook the chicken all the way through before adding it to the sauce. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you don't have any mozzarella cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
Serve the chicken with your favorite pasta or rice.
