Baked Caprese Chicken

½ cup oil and vinegar dressing, divided

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

1 bunch fresh basil, thinly sliced

1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Pour 1/4 cup dressing into a small bowl.

Arrange chicken breasts evenly in the center of a grill pan. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with dressing; season with salt and pepper.

Pour remaining 1/4 cup dressing into a mixing bowl. Add tomatoes and basil. Toss to coat evenly with the dressing.

Spread the tomato mixture evenly around chicken in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and top chicken with fresh mozzarella; return pan to oven.

Continue baking until mozzarella cheese is golden brown and bubbly and chicken is fully cooked, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
