Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Basil pesto, (Homemade or store-bought)
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, low sodium, ((about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness each))
1 tomato, sliced
2 tbsp Balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction, (I used this one)
8 Fresh basil leaves, (leave 4 whole and slice the rest into ribbons)

Steps:

If the chicken breasts are large and thick, cut them horizontally through the middle to make thinner cutlets or pieces. If you like, use a kitchen mallet to tenderize and flatten the chicken breasts before cooking. This helps them quick quickly and evenly.
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat an indoor griddle or pan over high heat. Drizzle about 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to coat bottom of pan. (See notes if you prefer to use an outdoor grill).
Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until done (chicken's internal temperature should register 165 degrees F).
In the last couple minutes or so of cooking, top each piece of chicken with a bit of the basil pesto then add a mozzarella slice on top.
Remove from heat. Add fresh basil leaves and tomato slices on top of each chicken piece and finish with a little balsamic reduction (or balsamic glaze). Finally, sprinkle fresh basil ribbons and serve!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for topping
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
Small fresh basil leaves, for topping
Red pepper flakes, for topping (optional)

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with the flat side of a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Brush the chicken on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with the oregano, salt and pepper.
Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken until cooked around the edges, about 3 minutes. Flip and spread the top of the chicken with the pizza sauce. Top with the mozzarella slices, then the tomato slices. Cover and grill until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is slightly melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the chicken pizzas from the grill. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and red pepper flakes.

CAPRESE CHICKEN

Caprese Chicken image

I love a Caprese salad of tomatoes, basil and cheese, so why not try a chicken caprese? You can grill this dish, but my family agrees it's juicier straight from the oven. -Dana Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona
