Caprese Chicken & Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (6 oz each) skinless, boneless
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs broccoli chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 roma tomato sliced
- 2 sprigs basil leaves, thinly chopped
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsps dijon mustard
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 3 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- Slice the chicken breasts in half and then season and tenderize with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and olive oil. Toss half with the broccoli and spread out onto a sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 25 minutes, shaking midway.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then grill chicken on both sides for about 2 minutes (If grill pan isn’t large enough to fit all the chicken pieces, transfer grilled pieces to a sheet pan). Transfer chicken to the oven and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add a slice of mozzarella to each chicken breast.
- When chicken is done, top cheese with a basil leaf and tomato slice. Drizzle with rest of the sauce, and enjoy with your crunchy, roasted broccoli.
