Instructions

Creating this incredible Garlic Tomato Chicken with Mozzarella is as simple as following these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for the chicken.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and oregano on both sides.
4. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes until they soften slightly.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the garlic-tomato mixture over the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Add Mozzarella: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle fresh mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
