Directions

1 Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick. In small bowl, mix Italian seasoning, salt and lemon peel; rub mixture evenly over smooth side of chicken.
2 In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil and vinegar over medium-high heat. Add chicken, seasoned side down; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center.
3 Reduce heat to low. Top each chicken breast with 2 tomato slices and 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover; cook 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil. Serve with linguine.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve with a garden salad tossed with a light vinaigrette dressing.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts can vary greatly in thickness. Pounding the chicken breasts so they are equal thickness results in more even cooking.

We really enjoyed this dish - the combination of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar was different. I've added this to my recipe collection. You can eliminate the pressing of the chicken by slicing it thin, too. This would cut down on your cooking time.
