Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast With Mozzarella Cheese

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast rubbed with garlic and herbs, dripping with a tomato balsamic sauce and melted mozzarella cheese!

It doesn’t get any better than this EASY chicken recipe! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts stay juicy baked in balsamic vinegar, getting so much flavour from grape tomatoes, red onion slices and a touch of garlic.

A READER FAVOURITE SINCE MARCH, 2018!

BAKED CHICKEN

Balsamic Caprese Chicken crossed paths with this Mozzarella Chicken recipe, and this Balsamic Baked Chicken Breast With Mozzarella Cheese was the end result.

I can’t stop with this tomato baked chicken recipe. While chicken breasts bakes over a bed of tomatoes, the sauce turns into a delicious tomato pan gravy. The most delicious pan sauce to mop it all up with garlic bread.  Plus the addition of melty mozzarella cheese makes this easy chicken recipe the best you will try.

If those aren’t reasons enough on their own to give this recipe a try, you will love that you only have one dish to clean up.

Let your oven do ALL the work and have the most delicious baked chicken breast on your table in less than 30 minutes!

HOW TO BAKE CHICKEN BREASTS

  • Season chicken breasts in a mixture of herbs, salt and pepper, and the most fundamental ingredient: olive oil. Olive oil not only adds flavour to chicken breasts, it also adds moisture AND help your seasonings stick to the breast while avoiding chicken sticking to the bottom of your baking dish.
  • Pour in the balsamic sauce that acts like a two-for-one: tenderises and adds another level of flavour to otherwise boring or dry breasts.
  • Bake. This is the part that terrifies some people. How long two you bake chicken breasts for? High or low temperature? How do you know when it’s done? TERRIFIES. Because there’s nothing worse than dry-hard-to-swollow chicken breasts. I hear you loud and clear. But! It should not be a terrifying experience. After all, it’s just chicken.
  • Broil (or grill in the UK and Aus). You want your melted cheese to be bubbling and golden on your chicken, right? Yes.

How To Make Balsamic Baked Chicken Breasts | https://cafedelites.com

OVEN TEMPERATURE

Through years of trial and error, I prefer roasting chicken breasts at high heat (220°C or 430°F) instead of low and slow. Why? I find the longer they are left in the oven, even on low heat, the quicker they dry out and resemble a shoe sole. Breasts don’t need much time at all.

HOW LONG DO YOU BAKE CHICKEN BREAST IN THE OVEN?

At the above temperature, usually for around 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts, it could take longer), or until juices run clear and breasts are no longer pink in the middle. If you’re in doubt, use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is heated through to 160-170°F (or 70-75°C).

Cooking time can vary though, depending on how thick your chicken breasts are, how hot your oven runs and if you have preheated it before baking.

I prefer to use fresh shredded (or grated) mozzarella cheese for this recipe, and for most of my recipes. Pre-shredded packet cheese never seems to give the same result as fresh mozzarella. You can use either one, it’s just personal preference.

After baking, allow your chicken to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into it. The cheese acts like tented foil over it which allows it to hold on to all of those amazing juices.

WINE SELECTION

I personally love a smooth Rosé with this recipe, but a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio go well also. For something a little sweeter, try a chilled glass of Riesling.

SIDES

We serve this with plain rice, drizzling all of the pan juices over it. It is divine. You can also serve it over pasta mixed with olive oil and garlic, buttery mashed cauliflower for a low carb option, mashed potatoes, or for something lighter, a simple side salad.

    I was dying to try something new in my sous vide. So, I left out the onion (onion and garlic don’t taste cooked when only cooked to 149) and sauteed the garlic in the olive oil stove top. I added mushrooms and asparagus. Put everything but the mozzarella in a zip lock and cooked it at 149 for 2 hours. (I only used 2 chicken breasts because I didn’t want tons of leftovers.) Once it was cooked I put it in a baking dish, added the fresh mozzarella, and stuck it under the broiler. It may be the best thing I have ever made! Thank you for the starting place.

      Forgot to mention, there was almost too much sauce when done sous vide, with half the chicken. Loved the sauce, but since none of it evaporates during cooking, there was plenty to serve over everything, soak the bread in it, and still too much left to store. I will probably halve the sauce next time – where those baking are feeling the need to add ingredients to make more sauce.

    I took the spices, mixed them with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and marinated chicken in the mix for three hours. Then followed the directions as written on the recipe. The chicken took 25 min To reach 165F but turned out very juicy and tasty. This recipe is a keeper!

    Made this for dinner last night. Served with brown rice and Karina’s Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread. I prepped the chicken dish a few hours early and kept in refrigerator until time to cook. Turned out great. My wife thought it was at the top of the list for my best dinner. As I’ve said in comments of other recipes…Karina, your simple, good recipes are making me look good.

    I found this recipe very quick and easy to make. The flavor was just right, light and tasty. My mistake is that I bought chicken breast from the juristic period and they were in my opinion just to big. I new better but I threw them in the pan anyway. On large breast I will pound them flat or cut them horizontally to give them a more even cooking. To top it off my meat thermometer went out while I was cooking, so I just had to guess, never a good idea. The meat was just a little dry, which was my fault. I will make this dish again, because it was delightful, but I will pound or cut the breast next time and I think it will be perfect.

    I loved this recipe. The second recipe I have made from cafe delights and both have been awesome. My chicken was a bit dry and I cooked it for 25 mins, so will
    Cook it for 20 next time. The sauce was unreal. Very tangy. I served it with boiled baby potatoes and broccolini. But I think it would be great with pasta next time. Thank you so much for this recipe.

    Normally I prefer thighs overs breasts but this recipe leaves the chicken so amazingly juicy! I substituted sliced fresh mozzarella instead of shredded. Another one for my Must Make Again list, because everyone gave it rave reviews when I brought it over to a game night with friends. I served it up with some crusty bread to scoop up the delicious tomato mixture like a side bruschetta. So tasty.

      Hi Manjeet,

      Yes, you most definetly can use chicken thighs!
      If you are using bone-in-thighs, you may need to cook them for 10-15 minutes longer.
      If you decide to cook with boneless thighs, then they may need 5 minutes extra.

    I looked for a chicken with cheese recipe and thats how I got in here. I do not have tomatoes so what I did is I coat the chicken with tomato paste, not a lot just enough cause I don’t know what would be the outcome. I followed the rest of the ingredients. I was scared that it will turn out bad because of the tomato paste haha. But surprisingly it was good I mean real good. Husband loved it, no kidding. I will definitely do this again but with tomatoes.

    This was surprisingly delicious, because I totally screwed up!! I was distracted by screaming children, so I put in a quarter cup of brown sugar and tablespoon of balsamic vinegar! Whoops…. I only realized it when it was already in the oven, so I kept that fact to myself to wait and see how it was received by said screaming children and the hubby. Everyone loved it, so it’s our little secret! (Though next time I think I’ll try to do it correctly to see how it’s really supposed to taste!) Oh, and I doubled the tomatoes because we’re big fans over here. My kids snack on grape tomatoes all the time.

    Amazing recipe! I made it using a red pepper along with the red onion, and added a bit of left over spaghetti sauce in had in the frig. It came out perfectly, everything was tender, delicious and super easy. This recipe is a keeper!

    Can you prepare the chicken ahead of time (and if so, what’s the longest you can have th chicken sitting in marinade before cooking)?

      Yes! That is even better. The longer the marinade the more flavor it will have as long as it is refrigerated the entire time. Hope you enjoy your chicken! Thanks so much for following along with me!

    I LOVE this recipe. I cook for “family dinner “ every Monday night, for 14 or more people. I recently joined Weight Watchers. I cut back on the oil, sugar, and cheese. Everyone raves about the meal! Thanks for this recipe.

    This was very easy and super yummy. Amazing how much flavor the chicken had! I too will double the tomato mixture to have that much more for pasta sauce. Already passed it on to many of my friends and family.

    Loved this dish! May double the tomatoes next time- a tomatoe, chicken, and mozzarella made for the perfect bite. Passed this recipe on to friends as soon as dinner was over! Husband and 2 year old enjoyed it as well.

    Incredible chicken dish! I loved the balsamic garlic pan juice, the brown sugar added the perfect flavor. Great seasoning on the chicken! Served with salad and bread, can’t wait to make again!

      The cheese actually acts a foil so uncovered is great! Enjoy your chicken!!

    I love your site and your recipes! Look forward to making this one. Quick request: would it be possible to include the “suggested sides” in the print mode? 🙂

      Yeah, I will work on adding that to my up and coming recipes when I can. Sometimes the box only allows so many letters/words per post. I will see what I can do though! Thanks so much for following along with me!

      Could you substitute a sweet onion if that’s all I have?

    Made this dish last night. Did not have fresh small tomatoes so used canned. Turned out delicious with rice. Love this and so many of your other recipes. Thanks for livening up this senior citizens menu!

      Hi Margaret:
      It seems as if you answered the question I was about to ask. I was wondering if I could use a large can of diced tomatoes instead of the grape tomatoes. Glad to know it works well. Thank you.

    Glory hallelujah! A recipe I can add to our regular round-up that was enjoyed by all which is seemingly not an easy feat. My son commented about not liking the smell of the balsamic while cooking, but thankfully it didn’t stand out on its own once cooked. I think you’re onto something with this 430 degrees (versus 350 F) situation. The chicken was cooked through and juicy. A winner!

    Thank you for the most incredible chicken dish! I followed the directions and we had the best meal ever. We had garlic mashed potatoes as suggested on the side and my husband loved every bite. Had to promise him I would make again soon.

    I made this for dinner last night even though I prefer thighs. This is the best chicken breast ever! They came out so juicy which is so rare for me. You’ve now converted me to actually liking chicken breast something I never thought would happen in a million years! Oh and that sauce is really amazing. We poured it over rice as suggested and dinner was quiet for a change. A good sign your food was enjoyed by my whole family. They have requested i make it again tonight. Thank you Karina!
