Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pints grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. white balsamic or white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 pieces thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast, or 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
10 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced into rounds
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1/2 cup peperoncini (about 3 oz.), thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 Tbsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet.
  • If using skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slice them into 4 cutlets: Holding knife blade parallel to board, cut breast in half, slicing along a long side, to make 2 pieces.
  • Season chicken on all sides with pepper and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. oregano. Nestle chicken into tomato mixture. Roast until chicken is almost fully cooked through and tomatoes are starting to burst, 8-10 minutes. Arrange mozzarella rounds over chicken and tomatoes. Return to oven and roast until cheese is melted and chicken is fully cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Top with onion and peperoncini.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Choose the Right Pan: Use a large sheet pan that is big enough to accommodate all of the chicken and vegetables in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the Chicken Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika before cooking. This will help it develop a delicious flavor.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When placing the chicken and vegetables on the sheet pan, make sure to leave some space between each piece. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Roast the Chicken and Vegetables Together: Roasting the chicken and vegetables together is a great way to save time and energy. Plus, the vegetables will soak up all the delicious flavors from the chicken.
