"Chicken" you can substitute with your favorite protein, like turkey,
pork tenderloin, any fish fillet. My lazy day dinners are often
store-bought rotisserie chicken that's already cooked and warm -- then
following this Chicken Caprese recipe to dress it up. Ingredients:4 pieces cooked chicken (or other meat/seafood)
8 slices fresh mozzarella
2 large tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive
oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 sprig fresh basil (or dried
Italian herb mix)
2 teaspoons good quality balsamic vinegar Directions:1. Warm up chicken in oven, pan or microwave,
take care not to overcook the already-cooked chicken. You just want it
warmed through. 2. Lay chicken on baking sheet. Alternate slices
of tomato and mozzarella on each piece of chicken. Drizzle olive oil
over chicken. Set oven rack 8 inches below heat source. Broil for 3-4
minutes, until cheese begins to melt. 3. Season mozzarella cheese
and tomato with salt and pepper (the already-cooked chicken should
already be seasoned), drizzle a few drops of balsamic vinegar and
sprinkle with fresh basil. |
