This balsamic caprese chicken is one of those chicken recipes that can be easily whipped up on a weeknight or dressed up on a big platter for a dinner party to “oohs and ahhs.”
This one simple step takes care of cooking time and saves you money. Serving 8 for a dinner party? Now you only need to purchase 4 chicken breasts. People will actually be eating the right amounts and have plenty of room for your delicious dessert.
We love caprese salad, so why not combine it with simple grilled chicken to make it something special? This dish makes a great weeknight dinner, but will also impress dinner guests if served at a party.
