Ingredients
- 6 grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 /4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 lices mozzarella cheese
- 6 lices tomato
- 6 large basil leaves
Instructions
- Prepare chicken on the grill. As chicken is cooking, pour balsamic vinegar into sauce pan or skillet and cook until reduced by half. Add in butter and stir with a flat whisk until completely combined. Set aside.
- Top chicken with mozzarella cheese, basil leaf, and then tomato slice.
- Drizzle with balsamic reduction and serve warm.
Notes
- To make ahead. Marinate the chicken and prepare the balsamic reduction ahead of time. Store both in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, preheat the grill (or grill pan), remove the chicken from the marinade, and cook the chicken as directed. Assemble and serve.
- To store leftovers. Due to the tomato and the fresh basil, this grilled Caprese chicken is best enjoyed on the same day. If you know that you may have leftovers, do not add the basil, tomato, or balsamic reduction to the grilled chicken. Cool and store grilled chicken in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze. Similarly to the leftovers, I do not recommend freezing grilled Caprese chicken. However, you can easily freeze the cooled grilled chicken by storing it in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, reheat and assemble and serve.
