Steps

1

Trim any fat off your chicken and season on both sides. Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven on medium-high. Cook chicken until deep golden brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes.
2

Flip chicken and cook 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add balsamic vinegar and gently simmer until slightly thickened and syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast 10 minutes.
3

This was the mozzarella I used, slice it. Turn chicken to coat in vinegar, top with mozzarella and roast chicken util cheese begins to melt, about 2-4 minutes.
4

Serve topped with basil leaves and tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with any additional balsamic glaze from skillet if desired.
