Creamy Balsamic Caprese Chicken Bake
Tender chicken breasts baked with juicy cherry tomatoes and melted fresh mozzarella, finished with a velvety balsamic glaze for a bright and savory flavor profile.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup zucchini
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 leaves fresh basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Spread the basil pesto over the top of the chicken breast, then layer on the halved cherry tomatoes and slices of fresh mozzarella.
Place the skillet into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly.
While the chicken bakes, simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes until it reduces into a thick glaze.
Spiralize or thinly slice the zucchini and place it in a serving bowl.
Top the zucchini with the cooked chicken and tomatoes, then drizzle with the warm balsamic glaze and garnish with hand-torn fresh basil leaves.
