- 1 medium onion sliced thin

Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl mix together the honey and balsamic syrup. Heat for 1 minute in the microwave. Set aside.
- Place thinly sliced onion in a rectangle 9×13" casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil. Add the chicken breasts on top of the onions.
- Baste chicken with half of the honey balsamic glaze.
- Sprinkle the chicken with kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- Add 2-3 slices of fresh Mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Bake for 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing or serving. When serving, top each chicken breast with sautéed onion slices and fresh chopped parsley. Drizzle remaining honey balsamic glaze on top of each chicken breast. Serve on its own, over steamed rice, pasta of choice, or roasted potatoes.
Notes
If chicken breasts are too thick (1 inch or more), slice in half horizontally and pound between sheets of plastic wrap for even thickness. For best results, use an instant read thermometer; the chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Heating the honey and balsamic syrup is optional if the honey is too thick.
