Caprese Chicken





This was a really simple dinner to make, and tasted AMAZING!
If you love chicken, love cheese and love tomatoes and Italian meals, this is a great healthy dinner for you to try.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 4 Chicken Breasts, boneless, skinless
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • Italian seasoning
  • pesto sauce
  • 2 tomatoes and sliced to make 8 slices total
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 1 dash of sea salt
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • balsamic vinegar
To prepare:
  1. Preheat oven to 375* 
  2. Spray baking dish with oil, place chicken in pan and sprinkle with pepper and Italian seasoning.  
  3. Cook for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Pull pan out of the oven and top each chicken breast by layering 1 tsp pesto sauce, 1 slice of tomato, the mozzarella slice, 1 more slice of tomato and pesto sauce. Drizzle with desired amount of balsamic vinegar.
  5. Put back into oven for about 5 min until cheese is softened and tomatoes are warm.
ENJOY!!

Whole family loved this one.
I made up a side of steamed zucchini for this dinner for my husband and I.  For the kids I gave them some veggies too, but also added a spaghetti and plain tomato sauce side.
