Grilled Caprese Chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines the classic Italian Caprese salad elements—fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil—with juicy, perfectly seasoned grilled chicken. This wholesome and easy-to-make recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions, balancing simplicity and sophistication in every bite.
- Marinate the chicken: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and vinegar for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Char the tomatoes slightly: Grilling the cherry tomatoes adds a slight char which enhances their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor to the dish.
- Fresh basil: Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor and aroma. Tear them gently to release their essential oils without bruising.
- Melt the cheese: Once the chicken is almost done, top each piece with mozzarella cheese and continue grilling until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
Your Grilled Caprese Chicken is now ready to serve! The succulent chicken, mingled with the vibrant flavors of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil, is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Enjoy this delightful dish on its own or with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Buon appetito!
