Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Place the chicken breasts on the same sheet, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven, top the chicken with sliced mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.
Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate chicken in balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before baking.
Use heirloom cherry tomatoes for a colorful presentation.
Substitute mozzarella with burrata for a creamier texture.
