Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
Optional: 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Season chicken pieces with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, combine cherry tomatoes, basil, and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften.
Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in balsamic glaze.
If using, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and cook for an additional minute until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a low-carb version, omit any added sugars in the balsamic glaze and serve without a side of bread.
You can prepare the tomato-basil mixture ahead of time for even quicker assembly.
This dish pairs well with zucchini noodles or a simple side salad.
