Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb (750 grams) boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • Juice of 1 lemon divided
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 vine-ripened tomatoes diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • Grated parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Rinse and pat dry chicken breast with kitchen paper towels. Cut chicken breast into four to five equal parts. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper and Italian seasoning in a small bowl, whisk to combine. Then, pour into the large bowl and marinate the chicken breast for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet on high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breast on the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until charred. (You may cook 2 to 3 minutes longer if the meat is large and thick.)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the tomato mixture in a small bowl. Add diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, and the remaining lemon juice to the bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper and toss well.
  • Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Dish out. Add a spoonful of the tomato mixture to each chicken breast and top with grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

Recipe Source: Delish
  • Choose a cast-iron skillet to cook the chicken breast for the best result.
  • To avoid the meat sticking to the skillet when flipping over, add one tablespoon of olive oil to the cast-iron skillet before placing the chicken breast on it.
  • To ensure the chicken breast is fully cooked, use a probe thermometer to measure the internal temperature if it reaches 155°. Make sure the entire piece is cooked through; you may cook the edges holding the chicken upright with tongs.
