Directions
-
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Slice it into thin strips for even cooking.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the red onion wedges and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
-
Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to combine and reheat.
-
Remove from heat and top with the baby rocket leaves and sliced bocconcini cheese.
-
Let it sit for 1 minute so the residual heat wilts the rocket and melts the cheese slightly.
-
Serve immediately while warm.
