Caprese Skillet Chicken


Adapted from The Iron You's  Easy Caprese Skillet Chicken

Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
1.5 t. Italian seasoning
1.5 t. fine grain salt
1/4 t. ground black pepper
3 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
3 medium vine tomatoes, sliced into 8 thick slices
handful fresh basil, cut into ribbons
balsamic vinegar

Directions
Sprinkle herb mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken cutlet.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and salt.  Add chicken and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until golden-brown on the bottom. 
Sprinkle more salt and pepper in the pan and flip the chicken.  Cook on the other side for about 5 minutes, until cooked through.
Add 1/2 oz. of sliced mozzarella and 1/2 sliced tomato to each cutlet.  Cover with lid and allow the cheese to melt.
Remove from heat, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle with fresh basil.

Note
I don't have Italian seasoning so I used:
1 t. Litehouse Instantly Fresh Salad Herb Blend
1 t. Litehouse Instantly Fresh Poultry Herb Blend
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. dried basil
