Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
|
Line an extra-large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Season chicken breasts on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
4
|
Place the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
5
|
Brush the chicken on both sides with the garlic-herb butter, and arrange on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
6
|
Trim the ends from the asparagus spears and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Toss the asparagus to evenly coat.
7
|
Arrange asparagus on the other side of the baking sheet.
8
|
Bake the chicken and asparagus on the middle rack of oven for 12 minutes. While the chicken and asparagus bake, prepare the toppings.
9
|
Cut the tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice the mozzarella ball into rounds a generous 1/4 inch thick.
10
|
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place 2-3 tomato slices over each chicken breast and 2-3 mozzarella rounds over the tomatoes. With a rubber spatula, gently toss the asparagus.
11
|
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the mozzarella is melted, 8-10 minutes.
12
|
Check to see that the dish is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
13
|
Stack the basil leaves and roll into a tight log. Make very thin slices across the log to create ribbons.
14
|
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the chicken. Garnish with basil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately.
