Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper (to taste)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 Roma tomato, sliced
- 4 slices buffalo mozzarella
- 4 tbsp fresh basil, shredded
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze or reduction (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (if time allows).
Grill the Chicken & Tomatoes:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. While grilling the chicken, place tomato slices on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side.
Assemble the Caprese Chicken:
- Once the chicken is done, top each breast with a slice of buffalo mozzarella and a grilled tomato slice. Let the residual heat melt the cheese slightly.
Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle shredded basil over the top and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy!
