- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon good quality balsamic vinegar plus more for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt plus more more seasoning the chicken
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more more seasoning the chicken
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini sliced into ½-inch thick half rounds
- 1 small bunch asparagus tough ends trimmed off and cut into 2-inch long pieces
- 8 ounces whole cherry tomatoes 1 ½ cups
- 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
- 4 slices (¼-inch thick) fresh mozzarella cheese about 4 ounces
- thinly sliced fresh basil for serving
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Put the veggies in a large mixing bowl: yellow bell pepper, zucchini, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Spoon half of the olive oil/seasoning mixture over the veggies and toss to coat.
Optional: Pound the chicken breasts to tenderize them and even out their thickness. To do this, place chicken in a zip-top plastic bag (or between two slices of plastic wrap) and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness.
Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Spoon or brush the remaining olive oil/balsamic seasoning mixture over the top of the chicken. Add the vegetables to the pan around the chicken.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through to 165°F and vegetables are tender.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of fresh mozzarella. Bake for 2-3 more minutes, until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the oven.
Spoon some of the roasted tomatoes from the pan over the chicken. Then drizzle chicken with a little balsamic vinegar if desired. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
