Baked Caprese Chicken
Baked Caprese Chicken is a delicious and simple dish that combines classic Italian flavors with a healthy, protein-packed meal. This recipe features juicy chicken breasts as the base, providing a lean protein that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the other ingredients. Cherry tomatoes and sliced tomatoes offer a burst of sweet acidity, balancing the richness of the dish and adding vibrant color. Topped with fresh mozzarella, which melts beautifully in the oven, the chicken takes on a creamy, savory flavor.
A balsamic vinegar and honey glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish that complements the tomatoes and mozzarella, creating a well-rounded dish. The olive oil and minced garlic bring depth to the flavors, while the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper add subtle herbiness and seasoning.
Altogether, these ingredients work harmoniously to create a wholesome, flavorful meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough to serve at a gathering.
