1/4 cup chicken stock (or water)

1/4 monk fruit sweetener
1/2 cup basil leaves torn
8 slices mozzarella

  4. Carefully transfer the chicken thighs to a baking sheet. Place a slice of cheese on each chicken thigh.
  5. Select 'sautee' (you may need to cancel the keep warm setting first), then simmer the sauce for 4-5 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer another 1-2 minutes until they are softened slightly. Stir in the basil.
  6. Place chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Serve the chicken with a big scoop of the tomato/basil/balsamic sauce. Enjoy!
