Chicken breast with tomatoes and mozzarella

To prepare a delicious chicken breast with tomatoes and mozzarella, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 2 tablespoons of olive oil, one chicken breast, a few fresh tomatoes, one cup of vegetable broth (or water if you don't have broth), mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, add the two tablespoons of oil and let it heat over medium heat. Make sure the oil gets hot enough to achieve an even browning of the meat. Carefully place the chicken breast in the skillet and let it brown for 4-5 minutes on each side until it becomes golden and appetizing. This process not only adds a crispy texture but also a savory flavor to the meat.

After the chicken breast is browned, add the chopped tomatoes. They will add a note of freshness and juiciness to the dish. At this point, pour in a little vegetable broth to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. It is important to turn the chicken breast halfway through the cooking time, adding more broth if necessary to maintain moisture.

The goal is to achieve a dish with a thick sauce that enriches the flavor of the meat. If you want to speed up the cooking process, cover the skillet with a lid. When the chicken breast is fully cooked, turn off the heat and check if it needs salt, adjusting to taste.

Now, add the diced mozzarella on top of the chicken, sprinkle oregano for an extra flavor, and if desired, a little pepper. Cover the skillet again with the lid and let the dish sit for a few minutes until the mozzarella melts and becomes creamy.

When ready, serve the dish immediately, enjoying a juicy chicken breast topped with fresh tomatoes and melted mozzarella, perfect for a savory dinner alongside a green salad or rice side dish. This easy-to-make recipe is sure to impress family and friends. Bon appétit!
