Easy Weeknight Chicken

  1.  Take 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season them on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, one whole diced tomato, 1 clove minced garlic, 3-4 leaves chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  3. Spoon the tomato mixture over the chicken breast and place it on a baking sheet with a russet potato that you have microwaved for three minutes. 
  4. Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.
  5. For an extra treat, spoon mushrooms that have been sauteed in a little butter, fresh garlic, and salt and pepper over top.
