Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced or in small balls

  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or sugar-free balsamic glaze)

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.

  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble and Serve: Drizzle dressing over the salad. Garnish with extra basil if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Use avocado slices for added healthy fats.
  • If strict keto, skip the balsamic or use a sugar-free glaze.
