Caprese Chicken
A fun twist on caprese salad. This easy and flavorful dish is ready in less than 30 minutes. Seared chicken is topped with fresh mozzarella, blistered tomatoes, and finished with basil and balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 4 (4-oz) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- ½ lb cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 4 discs
- 2 tbsp shredded basil
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in chicken breasts and cook a few minutes on each side until chicken breasts are cooked, with a golden brown sear on both sides.
- About 2 minutes before chicken is finished, add in tomato halves and cook until tomatoes are heated and skin is lightly blistered.
- Top chicken breasts with mozzarella slices. Turn off stove and cover skillet with lid to allow cheese to melt over the chicken.
- Dish out the chicken. Top tomatoes over cheese. Sprinkle chicken with basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Notes
- Chicken breasts are quite thick, so I sliced them in half lengthwise to reduce the thickness, which makes them easier to cook and serve.
- I used this baslamic glaze which I purchased on Amazon*.
