Ingredients for Chicken Caprese Skillet
- Boneless chicken breasts
- Olive Oil
- Marinara Sauce
- Fresh mozzarella cheese
- Grape tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- Balsamic Glaze
How To Make Chicken Caprese
Start by cooking your chicken in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. You'll need about four minutes per side. Once all your chicken is cooked (you can cook in batches if needed), spoon marinara sauce over and around the chicken. Cook an additional five minutes or until your chicken is done.
Next, layer your sliced mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast. I had enough to put about two slices per chicken breast. Then, sprinkle your halved grape tomatoes over top.
Broil in the oven for two minutes or until the cheese is a nice golden color and bubbly. I can just SMELL it now!
Finally, sprinkle your fresh basil over the entire skillet and top with the balsamic glaze for serving.
