Caprese Chicken
Sounds really good, chicken, tomatoes, and Mozzarella cheese cooked in balsamic vinegar. On my to cook list.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- Mozzarella Cheese, thinly sliced to cover each piece of chicken
Instructions
- In a large non stick skillet over medium heat, add the oil. While that is heating season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
- Same skillet, add the vinegar and garlic, cook for a minute or two then add the tomatoes and season with salt if desired, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, then stir in the basil. Return the chicken to the skillet and settle each piece in around the tomatoes. Top each piece with thinly sliced cheese and cover with a lid to melt the cheese. Serve with tomatoes spooned over the chicken.
Notes
Minimal costs overall. The chicken will run about 61 Baht per kilo. For 4 servings, this is about 45 cents per serving.
