Caprese Salad with Grilled Pesto Chicken

Caprese Salad with Grilled Pesto Chicken

By Emily Grant

Total: 25 minutes
SaladMain CourseGrilledChicken

Ingredients

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella
  • 2 pieces tomatoes
  • 12 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp pesto
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of pesto each, making sure they are well coated.

3

Drizzle the olive oil over the grill or grill pan to prevent sticking. Add the chicken breasts and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4

While the chicken is grilling, slice the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Arrange the slices on a serving platter, alternating between mozzarella and tomato slices.

5

Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the arranged mozzarella and tomato slices.

6

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly across the grain.

7

Arrange the grilled chicken slices around the mozzarella and tomato slices on the platter.

8

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and chicken before serving.
