Pan-Seared Pesto Chicken with Fresh Caprese Salad
Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying meal that features succulent pan-seared chicken enhanced with a rich basil pesto, perfectly paired with a refreshing Caprese salad of sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves, finished with a drizzle of tangy balsamic glaze.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Balsamic Glaze
PREPARATION
Pat dry the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is nicely seared.
In the last minute of cooking, spoon over the pesto to warm it slightly and coat the chicken.
While the chicken is resting, assemble the Caprese salad by halving the cherry tomatoes and slicing or tearing the fresh mozzarella.
Arrange tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves on a plate, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Plate the pesto chicken alongside the fresh Caprese salad and serve immediately.
