1
Meat
Wash the chicken breasts, pat them dry, make shallow cuts in them (like "pockets"), and season with salt. Brush with olive oil, season with spices, garlic, and dried basil.
2
Filling
Place slices of tomatoes and mozzarella into the cuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar (if using) and transfer to a baking dish.
3
Baking
Bake in the oven at 180 °C for about 25 minutes, until the meat is tender and the cheese is nicely melted.
4
Serving
Serve with rice, fries, or fresh salad. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

TIP
For a more pronounced flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice or a spoon of pesto directly on the meat before baking. You can also substitute mozzarella with provolone or parmesan cheese - according to your mood.
