Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2 inch thickness, 2 breast halves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons pesto store-bought or homemade
- 6 slices fresh mozzarella
- 1 tomato sliced
- 2 tablespoon good quality balsamic
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler on the oven.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large pan over high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. When hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan and sear, browning over high heat, about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish (or leave them in your pan if it is oven-safe).
