For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the oil and vinegar dressing for at least 30 minutes before baking. Use high-quality fresh mozzarella for the best flavor and texture. A drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking adds a touch of sweetness and elegance. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a light pasta salad for a complete meal.
