Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning, divided
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth, preferably organic
- 1/2 cup multi-colored cherry tomatoes, quartered*
- 8 oz fresh Mozzarella cheese, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Rub the chicken thighs with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle both sides with one tablespoon Italian seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and transfer to the hot skillet.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken develops a golden crust. Remove from heat and add butter, chicken broth, and cherry tomatoes.
