Ingredients in Chicken Caprese
Chicken – Use fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts. Skinless chicken thighs can be used in place of chicken breasts. Bacon – Bacon adds a savory and smoky flavor. Tomatoes – Fresh tomatoes, particularly cherry or grape tomatoes, become irresistibly sweet and tender, creating a deliciously fresh “sauce” as they cook. Cheese – Fresh mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan finish off this recipe. Feel free to use other favorite cheeses such as provolone, romano, or asiago. Basil – Fresh basil leaves really do take this dish to the next level. Extras – Drizzle with a tangy balsamic glaze. Add some mushrooms or asparagus with the garlic for extra savor. Even some capers can be added, or sundried tomatoes.
