Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for topping
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
Small fresh basil leaves, for topping
Red pepper flakes, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with the flat side of a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Brush the chicken on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with the oregano, salt and pepper.

Top with the mozzarella slices, then the tomato slices. Cover and grill until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is slightly melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken pizzas from the grill. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and red pepper flakes.

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the balsamic vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for the caprese salad. Mozzarella, burrata, and feta are all popular choices.
  • To make the caprese salad more substantial, add some grilled vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or peppers.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables to the caprese salad.
