Baked Caprese Chicken

Good morning to you!
The sun is shining today, so it's a good day!
Yesterday's weather was nasty. (I don't do cold/rainy weather so well.) 
I'm over here complaining about some wind and rain, while people up North are all like 

Yesterday Nelpe & I had a hair appointment (meaning I got my hair cut and colored while Nelps roamed around the salon like "hey guys, whats up?") 
I go back and forth with my bangs. It's one of those love/hate relationships. Now, the bangs are officially back! 
I go to Images Hair Salon in South Tampa, if you're looking to get your hair done right! ;) 

Anyways, on to some delicious eats!
Do you feel more put together in life when you have dinner planned for the week? I do! Especially when my cooked meals get gobbled up by the family! 
This delicious Baked Caprese chicken was a winner on Monday night. I'm a fan of all things caprese. Caprese sandwiches are on the top of my favorite things list. If you're in the same boat as me, give this Caprese Chicken a try!

Baked Caprese Chicken with Balsamic Glaze

What you’ll need:
2 chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to create 4 thin filets
1 egg

water
¾ cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. FlavorGod Everything Seasoning or any Italian Seasoning
½ lb. fresh Mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
1 large tomato, sliced
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
Fresh or dried basil leaves (I only had dried tonight so that’s what I used)
Salt & Pepper

What you do:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a small bowl, create an egg wash by scrambling an egg and tbsp. of water together with a fork.
In another small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and seasoning.
Take each chicken filet and dip first into egg wash, then into breadcrumbs, making sure it is completely covered.
Place on a baking sheet lined with foil & sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
Bake chicken in oven for 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
(This is when you can create a balsamic glaze if wanted)
Take chicken out of oven and top each filet with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Put back in over for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Take out of oven and top with sliced tomato, balsamic, and basil.
Enjoy!

XOXO
