Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced into 5 slices
- 1 medium tomato sliced into 5 slices
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil until over medium heat until shimmering. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add in a single layer to the pan. Sear on the first side for 3 minutes until golden brown, then sear on the second side another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a medium casserole dish or glass baking pan. Top each chicken thigh with a slice of fresh mozzarella, then top each with a slice of tomato.
- Bake 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and chicken is cooked through. Turn on the broiler for a minute or two to brown the top of the cheese.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
