SERVES 4
Refreshingly sweet and savory, topped with a generous serving of creamy mozzarella, fresh basil and crisp tomato. A new twist on Caprese Salad.
INGREDIENTS:
-
4 Chicken Thighs
- 1 cup Traditional Style Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp. Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil
- 1 large, firm tomato, thickly sliced
- 2 tbsp. The Oil Tree "Cluck and Oink" Seasoning
- 8 oz. fresh Mozzarella, cut into 4 large slices
- 1 ½ tbsp. fresh Basil, roughly chopped
- 12" Cast Iron skillet
HOW IT WORKS
Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry. Coat chicken with 1 tbsp. Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil and season with The Oil Tree "Cluck and Oink" Seasoning.
In a small saucepan, reduce Traditional Style Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes or until reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
Add remaining Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil to a 12" Cast Iron skillet over medium heat.
4.
Once oil is shimmering, add chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes per side. Move thighs continuously to avoid sticking. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
5.
Once thighs are browned and cooked through, top each with a slice of tomato and mozzarella.
Transfer skillet to the oven and broil on high for 5 minutes or until mozzarella is melted.
6.
Remove the skillet from oven. Top each chicken thigh with fresh basil and liberally cover with balsamic reduction. Enjoy!
