Instructions
Heat the oven to 180/340
Prepare your sheet pan
Put the chicken and tomatoes on the sheet and drizzle with the Olive oil
Put the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup into a small heavy bottomed pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the glaze has thickened. Keep an eye on it, it thickens fast. As soon as it's thickened, take it off the heat and out it to one side. The glaze will continue to thicken off the heat
Cook the chicken and tomatoes for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Take out of the oven and add the mozzarella, then pop back into the oven for 5 minutes until the mozzarella has melted. If there is a lot of juice from the tomatoes and chicken at this point, drain the liquid away before putting back in the oven
Take the sheet out of the oven, drizzle with the glaze and throw some fresh basil on top
