Ingredients
  • 4 slices Rudi’s Texas Toast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 breasts boneless chicken
  • 1 tsp fine salt (for each chicken breast)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (for each chicken breast)
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella ((1/2 of an 8-oz ball))
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes ((10-12 oz))
  • 3 whole cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze (drizzle)
Instructions
  1. Preheat a toaster oven or conventional oven to 450 degrees F. Line the toaster oven pan or a baking sheet with parchment paper or mist with nonstick spray. Place the Texas Toast slices on the prepared baking sheet. 
  2. On the stovetop, heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet (or other heavy skillet) over medium-high heat.
  3. Slice each chicken breast in half through the middle (butterflied) to create 4 thin chicken pieces. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Once the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on one side, about 4 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the Texas toast for 5-6 minutes (in a toaster oven) or for 8-10 minutes (in a conventional oven). 
  6. Turn the chicken breast over and place one slice of mozzarella on each. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the skillet around the chicken. Cover and cook for 4 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes start to soften.
  7. To serve, top each slice of toast with one of the chicken slices. Spoon the sauteed tomatoes over top. Garnish with the basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
