(boneless chicken breasts)

salt and black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

butter

mozzarella mozzarella cheese

DeLallo balsamic glaze

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Use a sharp, thin knife to slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Slather the tops of each chicken breast with the basil pesto, about 1-2 tablespoons per chicken breast. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella and a few slices of tomato. Put the skillet in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. F. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Caprese Chicken and Zucchini

1.5 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts

zucchini

mozzarella cheese (thinly sliced)

garlic

tomatoes

tomato paste (low sodium)

tbsp oil (divided)

tbsp balsamic vinegar

oregano

salt (divided)

black pepper (to taste)

basil (thinly sliced)

Preheat large deep skillet on medium heat and swirl 1 tbsp oil to coat. Add chicken, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.

Move chicken to the side of the skillet and keep empty part over the burner. Add 1 tbsp oil, garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, oregano, 1/4 tsp salt and a handful of basil. Cook this "tomato pile" for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add zucchini, stir everything together, cover and cook on low-medium for 12 minutes.

Lay mozzarella slices on top, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle more basil and ground black pepper on top. Serve hot, on its own or with spaghetti, brown rice or quinoa.

Store: Refrigerate covered for up to 3 – 4 days. Do not freeze.

To reheat: Simmer on low heat in a skillet for 5 minutes covered. If you use non-stick skillet you should not need any water or oil to reheat the dish as zucchini will release water.

Yummy, easy to make, quick, and very tasty!  Thank you.

I made this last week for the first time. It was full of flavor and came together very quickly. My husband says it is his new favorite dish.  I’ll be making it again very soon. Thanks Suzy, as always, for another great creation!

Made this for dinner it was amazing!  Will make again for sure, tomorrow’s lunch with be a chicken caprese sandwich ?

I made this a month or so ago. AMAZING! It's on the menu again this week. This time I'll make sure I take a photo of it!

Absolutely delicious and easy to make!! Will be a go to recipe for sure!

This recipe was delicious.  Can this goodness be so healthy?  Oh my.   I have leftovers and hoping tomorrow it will be just a good.  Cold or slightly heated.  This is a keeper!  Couldn't find fresh basil leaves but it was still really good.  I am trying many of your Mediterranean-diet recipes.

California Grilled Chicken

c. balsamic vinegar

garlic powder

tbsp. honey

olive oil

chicken breasts

avocado

tomato

tbsp. Freshly sliced basil,

Absolutely delicious!  The marinade is so good and you can’t go wrong with a topping of fresh mozzarella, avocado and tomatoes.

I’ve made this a few times - I love it with pepper jack cheese.  So quick and easy.

I eat this at least twice a week.  I wish I could replace the chicken w/ something though );

We really enjoyed this recipe! Flavors melded together nicely, along with some added dry rub for a spicy kick to go along with the sweet. Pepper Jack cheese works well with this recipe.

This recipe is very excellent though doing it indoors on a grill pan takes a little less cook time and trying to keep the mozz, avocado, and tomato from slipping off was quite challenging. I think I need flatter chicken breasts but the taste is outstanding. My expertise is less so.

I made it exactly as the recipe called WITH the avocado.  It was a nice change.  Thus the recipe name "California Grilled Chicken".    I sprinkled see salt and dried Italian seasoning on each tomato before adding the fresh basil and drizzling with a balsamic reduction.  It was a hit!!  This also made for a very pretty presentation on the plate

Hint... I  pounded out the chicken before marinating and grilling.  The chicken cooked evenly and quickly and was very tender with no overcooked/undercooked areas.  Will definitely make again.

Served with Strawberry Spinach Salad with roasted pecans & feta cheese tossed in a light balsamic/honey dressing AND baked fingerling potatoes lightly seasoned with dried rosemary and italian seasoning.

I baked it at 350 in a baking dish with some of the marinade poured over. Cover with foil. Bake for 45 to one hour, depending on the thickness. Uncover and place cheese, tomatoes, (avocado—didn’t use), and basil on top.  Keep in oven for about 5 minutes. Serve. Delicious!

Looks great! I will try it tonight. My family loves avocado!

Okay, now this is so darn good. I had this with Mediterranean Chickpea Salad and homemade bread.

I made this minus the 🥑 avocado. My daughter and I loved it! Followed recipe to a T even the cooking time. Perfect!

This caprese chicken cooked in a skillet and topped a honey balsamic reduction and fresh basil is the perfect way to use fresh summer tomatoes.

Caprese Chicken Skillet

balsamic vinegar (divided)

honey (divided)

small boneless (skinless chicken breasts (24 oz))

salt

black pepper (divided)

extra virgin olive oil (divided)

red onion (diced (about 1 cup))

garlic (minced (about 4 teaspoons))

thyme

basil leaves (thinly sliced)

In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup of the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the honey. Gently simmer over medium- low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced by a little more than half, about 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

While the balsamic reduces, arrange the chicken on a cutting board and stretch a large sheet of plastic wrap over the top. Lightly pound the chicken breasts into an even ½- inch thickness. Discard the plastic, then sprinkle the chicken with ¾ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper, seasoning both sides.

In a large, heavy- bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium- high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the chicken breasts top- sides down, being careful of oil that may splatter. Let cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Flip and cook an additional 3 minutes. Check for doneness. The chicken should reach 165 degrees F at the thickest part when tested with an instant- read thermometer, and when sliced, the juices should run clear.

If it needs additional time, ﬂip again and continue cooking for a few minutes on each side, until done. The total cooking time will vary depending upon the size of your chicken. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Without wiping out the pan, reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, swirl to coat the pan, then add the red onion and let cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan as it cooks.

Add the garlic and let cook 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Add the tomatoes, thyme, and remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat back to medium high and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 2 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the tomatoes, and scatter the mozzarella throughout.

Cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the mozzarella to become soft and melty.

Uncover, drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top, and sprinkle with the fresh basil. Serve warm.

This caprese chicken skillet is topped with a honey balsamic reduction and fresh basil, the perfect way to use fresh summer tomatoes.
