🔥 Instructions:

1. Prep the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness if needed. Combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook your way:

   ∙ Grill it: Preheat grill to medium. Grill chicken 3–4 minutes per side until fully cooked.

   ∙ Pan-fry it: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

   ∙ Bake it: 375°F for 25 minutes or until internal temp hits 165°F.

3. Add the cheese: In the last minute of cooking, top each piece of chicken with a slice of mozzarella. Cover to melt.

4. Make the tomato basil salad: Mix cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if you like.

5. Assemble: Plate the melty chicken and top with a generous spoonful of the tomato salad. Drizzle with extra balsamic or olive oil for a finishing touch.

🧠 Tips + Tricks from The Keto Lady:

• Time saver: Buy pre-sliced mozzarella and cherry tomatoes to cut prep time in half.

• Protein swap: Works beautifully with thin-sliced pork chops or even boneless thighs.

• Meal prep magic: Grill a batch, store the tomato topping separately, and reheat as needed!

• Dairy-free option: Skip the cheese and drizzle with a garlic-infused olive oil instead.

• Elevate it: Add arugula under the chicken or a smear of pesto for extra flavor flair.
