Instructions

Creating Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast with Mozzarella Cheese is an easy process. Just follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, then pour the balsamic marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Bake Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the preheated oven, baking for 20 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: After 20 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken breasts.
6. Continue Baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

This simple process ensures you create a flavorful and tasty dish without unnecessary complications.
