Balsamic marinated chicken on top of a bed of roasted tomatoes all covered in melted cheese!

ingredients

1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette
3 cups tomatoes, sliced or diced
1 red onion, sliced or diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grates

directions

Marinate the chicken in half of the balsamic vinaigrette for 20 minutes to overnight.
Mix the remaining balsamic vinaigrette with the tomatoes and onions and place them in a baking pan before topping with the marinated chicken.
Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle the cheeses over the chicken and place under the broiler until the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Option: Use chicken thighs.
Option: Garnish with chopped basil or parsley!
Tip: Cook rice or pasta to serve it over while it is baking!
Note: The bake time will vary a little depending on how thick your chicken is. If it is really thick it might need a few more minutes to cook through.
