Description

A flavorful one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken breasts, tender roasted potatoes, and fresh Caprese toppings of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil for a simple yet impressive meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on the baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with the rest of the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Top each chicken breast with slices of mozzarella and tomato. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • Use cherry tomatoes if you prefer smaller bites of tomato flavor.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in balsamic vinegar and olive oil for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
