Introduction
A delicious and simple Italian-style Caprese Chicken featuring tender chicken cutlets simmered in a fresh garlic-tomato sauce with basil, topped with gooey melted fresh mozzarella, and finished with a rich balsamic drizzle.
Step 1
Season the thin chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Chop the tomatoes, mince the garlic, and slice the fresh mozzarella.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes on one side until lightly browned, then flip to sear the other side. Once cooked through, remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same pan with the remaining oil and chicken juices, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly. Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Hand-tear fresh basil leaves directly into the pan with the tomatoes. Season the tomato sauce with sea salt and black pepper, stirring well.
Step 5
Return the seared chicken cutlets to the pan, nesting them into the tomato sauce. Splash a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the chicken and flip them to coat evenly. Simmer everything together for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always tear fresh basil leaves with your fingers instead of cutting them with a knife to prevent bruising and preserve flavor.
Using thin chicken cutlets ensures quick cooking and keeps the meat tender and juicy.
Sautéing the garlic and tomatoes in the same pan used for searing chicken incorporates the leftover fond for a richer sauce.
