Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
