This Italian Chicken Bake layers seasoned chicken breasts with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a balsamic glaze in one pan. The cheese melts into a bubbly, golden blanket while the tomatoes burst and create a natural sauce. It tastes like chicken Caprese in baked form — simple, elegant, and ready in 35 minutes.

👨🍳Chef's Notes
Mise en Place Saves Time
“Even for quick recipes, spend 3 minutes measuring and prepping everything before you turn on the heat. It sounds counterintuitive, but it actually speeds up cooking because you're never scrambling mid-recipe.”
Bring to Room Temperature
“Take chicken out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking. Cold chicken straight from the fridge cooks unevenly — the outside overcooks while the centre stays underdone.”
