Caprese Baked Chicken (2 points)

2 servings

Ingredients:

8 oz skinless, boneless chicken breasts

12 gm basil paste

1 medium fresh tomato, sliced

30 gm light mozarella cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Take 2, 4 ounce chicken breasts or 1, 8 ounce chicken breasts (cut in half) and pound thin.

Place on a sprayed, parchment, foil lined or silicon matted cookie sheet.

Spread 1 heaping tsp of basil paste over each piece of chicken.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Remove from oven; top with sliced tomatoes and evenly divided light mozzarella cheese.

Bake for another 5 minutes to melt cheese. Switch oven to broil for a few minutes if you wish to brown the cheese but watch it carefully as it can burn easily.

Suggested Serving: Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
