Categories: Poultry- Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 20 to 22 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and cut into 4 equal cutlets
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 6 o. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
• 4 slices avocado
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• 3 Tbsp. balsamic glaze such as Bertolli
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and ground black pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken cutlet.
2. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken (cover pan with a splatter screen if you have one) and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until golden brown on second side and chicken is nearly cooked through. Top each piece of chicken with two slices of mozzarella, followed by a slice of avocado and 1 to 2 tomato slices. Cover pan with lid and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and cheese is melted.
3. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with basil. Serve warm.
