Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

Tomato Mozzarella

  • 8 oz Grape Tomatoes halved
  • 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Balls pearls
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Basil chopped

Chicken

  • 2 lbs Chicken Tenderloins
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, toss together the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe skillet. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, to taste. When the pan is hot and oil is shimmering, add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown.
  • Add the balsamic sauce mixture. It should quickly come to a simmer. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Immediately remove the pan from the heat and add the tomato mozzarella mixture over the chicken.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through. Internal temperature should register at 165F. Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
