What's cookin'? - Caprece Chicken

One of my favorite foods of summer is a caprece salad. Fresh basil ,fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella... Mmmm!

Throw in some chicken and you have a main dish meal!

For this recipe I have no measurements -just a list of ingredients. You decide how much to put in - and adjust it to your liking!

Ingredients:

Olive oil

Minced garlic

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cherry or grape tomatoes (or other small tomatoes)

Fresh basil

Fresh mozzarella

Balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Step 1:

Warm some olive oil in a frying pan. Add chicken and cook until you no longer see pink, flipping once or twice. Remove from pan.

Step 2:

In same skillet: add a little more oil, add minced garlic and cook until it begins to soften and turn golden. (Do not let it turn brown - that is bitter tasting!)

Step 3:

Add tomatoes and cook a few minutes until they begin to soften. (If you use small, whole tomatoes such as grape, it will start to crack; I used a little bit larger of the tomato cut into halves.)

Step 4:

Add basil leaves, broken-up. Cook another 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to wilt.

Step 5:

Put chicken into a broiler-safe pan. Pour tomato, basil, garlic mixture on top of chicken. Add fresh mozzarella slices, balls, pieces NOW.

Step 6: 

Broil for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Step 7:

(Remove from broiler!) Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Step 8:

ENJOY!!!
