Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (no-salt-added)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 spray olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced tomatoes (with juices), balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 4

Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs evenly over the tomato mixture.

Step 6

Top the dish with the shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Spray a light mist of olive oil spray over the top to help the breadcrumbs crisp up while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm alongside a green salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
