Avocado Caprese Skillet Chicken Recipe

Ingredient

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 3 Tbsp balsamic glaze (I use Bertolli)
• 4 avocado slices (from large but ripe avocados)
• 1/3 cup of chopped basil ribbons
• 2 (10 - 11 ounces each) boneless skinless chicken breast, buttered and halved
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion
• 1/2 tsp Italian spice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 ounces of fresh mozzarella, cut into 8 slices
• 2 medium cooked tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Apply dry chicken with tissue paper then sprinkle the mixture evenly on both sides of each piece of chicken meat. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add chicken (cover pan with splatter screen if available) and cook until golden brown, about 4 - 6 minutes.
4. Turn and cook the opposite side until the chicken is almost cooked (around 160 in the middle), reduce the temperature slightly if needed, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Add two slices of mozzarella to each slice of meat, followed by one slice of avocado, and 1-2 slices of tomatoes.
6. Cover the pan with a lid, return to heat and let it cook 1 - 2 minutes longer until the cheese melts and the chicken goes in the middle.
7. Sprinkle chicken with pepper, drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve warm.
