Chicken Caprese

Craig's Chicken Caprese

This one is very simple to make, but it tastes great. It's based on the ingredients found in the classic Caprese Salad: Mozarella cheese, basil and tomato. A classic combination!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 bottle of Italian salad dressing (the real stuff, not light or fat free)
8 large fresh basil leaves
1 fresh Roma tomato, thinly sliced
8 oz Mozarella cheese, thinly sliced
Salt & pepper

Procedure:

Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag. Pour in a generous amount of Italian dressing; enough to coat everything. Allow the chicken breasts to marinate for 1-2 hours in your ice chest or refrigerator, if you have one. Grill the chicken breasts until just barely done. Place 2 basil leaves on each chicken breast, followed by a layer of tomato. Salt and pepper the tomatoes to taste. Then, top each chicken breast with enough slices of Mozarella to cover everything. Close the cover on your grill and heat until the cheese is melted.
