Caprese Chicken Recipe is an easy dinner recipe that turns boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a delicious 30 minute meal!

I love having easy, go-to dinner recipes that I can turn to on busy nights.

This Caprese Chicken recipe is one of my favorites. It only takes 30 minutes to make and is a delicious, flavor-packed dinner.

Each piece of chicken is topped with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, sautéed grape tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

The simplicity of this recipe makes it a great dinner to make in summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh. I serve it with a simple green salad and a loaf of whole-grain bread.

This chicken re-heats well, and I always look forward to the leftovers for lunch the next day. Give it a try, and you'll want to add it to your regular dinner rotation, too!

First time trying this recipe and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I used an aged balsamic which added a real depth of flavor to this dish. I didn’t have fresh basil but I will add it next time I make it. Served with fresh veggies and it made for a a lovely meal. Will definitely make again with no changes.

  Thank you! You'll just want to season with salt and pepper according to your tastes. I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon. Hope that helps!
