Here's what you need: cherry tomato, olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, balsamic vinegar, all-purpose flour, large eggs, bread crumbs, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, Marketside Antibiotic-Free Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, olive oil, fresh mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil leaf

Provided by Walmart

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pt cherry tomato, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 Marketside Antibiotic-Free Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, pounded into 1/2 in thick
¼ cup olive oil
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4in (6 mm)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ cup fresh basil leaf, torn into bite size pieces

Steps:

  • Make the tomato salad: In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar, and toss to coat.
  • Make the caprese chicken: Add the flour to a large plate. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl. On a separate large plate, mix together the bread crumbs, ½ teaspoon salt, the pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Season the chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt each. Dredge in the flour, then dip into the eggs, letting an extra drip off, then coat in the bread crumb mixture.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Fry the chicken, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is deep golden brown. Flip the chicken and arrange the sliced mozzarella on top. Cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted.
  • Pour the tomato salad on top of the chicken breasts, letting some of the tomatoes slide into the pan around the chicken. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C) and the tomatoes are warmed through.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter and top with the tomatoes. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and garnish with the torn basil.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, and a flavorful pesto sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. You can add more or less pesto, cheese, or tomatoes, or use a different type of cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pesto, you can use a store-bought pesto sauce. Just be sure to choose a high-quality brand that uses fresh ingredients.
  • Serve the chicken parmesan with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Caprese chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and pesto sauce is simply irresistible. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
