Directions

Prepare Chicken

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Lightly pound the chicken so it is uniform in thickness. Brush the chicken with half the olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and pepper.

Add Veggies

Toss the cherry tomatoes and zucchini with remaining olive oil, fresh garlic, kosher salt, and pepper. Spread around the chicken on the baking sheet.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through (165 degrees) and the tomatoes have softened and begun to burst.

Broil

Remove from the oven and turn oven to broil (or 500 degrees) Top each piece of chicken with two slices of fresh mozzarella or 1 oz of shredded cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes until cheese is nice and melted. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and top with fresh basil.
