Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken dry. Cut a deep horizontal pocket into the side of each breast, being careful not to slice all the way through.
Step 2
Stuff each pocket with mozzarella, a slice or two of tomato, and several basil leaves. Season the outside with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the chicken for about 3 minutes per side until golden.
Step 4
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 5
Rest for 3 minutes, then drizzle with balsamic glaze and finish with a few more torn basil leaves.
