Easy Grilled Caprese Chicken
Ingredients
- 6- 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup of your favorite Italian salad Dressing (like Wishbone®)
- 6 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 12 large basil leaves
- 6 large slices of fresh tomato
- salt and pepper
- balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction, if desired
Instructions
- Combine the chicken breasts and Italian dressing in a gallon sized plastic bag. Make sure chicken is coated with dressing. Close bag and refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight (overnight for best flavor) turning bag occasionally to disperse dressing.
- Heat grill to med-high. Remove chicken breasts from marinade, and place on hot grill. Discard leftover marinade. Grill chicken until done (internal temperature of 170 degrees F) turning to brown on both sides.
- Place chicken on platter, immediately top with one slice of cheese, 2 basil leaves and 1 tomato slice on each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. (Drizzle with balsamic, if desired)
- Tent with foil. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the cheese begin to melt. Serve with linguine, if desired.
