CAPRESE CHICKEN



Caprese Chicken image

I love caprese salad and I'm always trying to find new ways to make chicken dishes and eat a bit healthier. Plus the basil in my garden is growing out of control! Everyone who's made it raves about it and makes it again and again!

Time 4h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
1 tablespoon chicken seasoning (such as Grill Mates® Montreal Chicken Seasoning)
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 (1/2 inch thick) slices fresh mozzarella cheese
4 (1/2 inch thick) slices tomato
4 large fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts, Italian salad dressing, Italian herb seasoning, and chicken seasoning into a resealable plastic bag, knead bag several times to coat chicken with marinade, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Pour canola oil into a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the oil until a small droplet of water pops in the oil. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and discard used marinade. Place chicken breasts into hot oil, fry for 2 minutes, and flip chicken.
  • Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a tomato slice.
  • Return to oven and bake until cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken breasts to a serving platter and top each with a basil leaf and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

CAPRESE STYLE CHICKEN BREASTS AND MIXED PEPPER MEDLEY



Caprese Style Chicken Breasts and Mixed Pepper Medley image

Taken from Harris Teeter website; posted for ZWT. "This simple chicken breast recipe contains a topping reminiscent of Caprese salad. The word Caprese describes anything native to the Italian island of Capri, located off the coastline near Naples. Because the Campania region of Italy (home of Capri, Amalfi, and Naples) was home to Italy's buffalo ranges - the locals were able to enjoy an abundance of fresh mozzarella - and recipes containing mozzarella (or other local specialties like lemons) were called Caprese. The pepper mixture is known as Peperonata in Italy and is a typical garnish for roasted and grilled meats." Lovely, simple dish for the summertime; I'm sure it would be perfect grilled, also! (By mixing the garlic and red pepper flakes in the olive oil and brushing over, while grilling. Then adding toppings and lowering lid, cheese should melt! Pepper medley could also be prepared on the grill, using a grill pan.)
