Main Dishes - Chicken
Grilled Caprese Chicken
Ingredients:
6- 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup of your favorite Italian salad Dressing
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.
