Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese or goat cheese
  • ½ cup balsamic syrup
  • 2 tablespoon basil
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start by pounding your chicken breasts thin between two pieces of plastic wrap. Trim off any fat.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides and place in hot skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side depending on how thick they are. You want to get some good browning on each side.
  4. When chicken is cooked through drizzle with the balsamic syrup, top with the mozzarella and tomato. Turn off heat, put lid on and let the cheese melt for a minute of two.
  5. Serve with more balsamic syrup if desired. Top with basil.  I like lots!

Notes

  • If you are lucky enough to have extra Caprese Chicken, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.  I often make a double batch of this so my family can take it in their lunches, or we can eat it again for dinner another night.
