4(1-ounce) slicespart-skim low-moisture mozzarella cheese
4teaspoonsbalsamic glaze
Directions
Place tomatoes in a small bowl; add 1 tablespoon oil, shallot, basil, vinegar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine; set aside.
Pat chicken dry using paper towels; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken; cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the cutlets and top each with a cheese slice. Cover the pan with a lid or baking sheet; cook until the cheese is melted and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F, about 1 minute, 30 seconds.
Transfer the chicken to individual plates or a platter; top with the tomato mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
