Grilled Chicken Caprese is an Italian-inspired chicken dish that is perfect for summer! It’s made with tender, juicy chicken that’s topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a lovely balsamic glaze. This dish can be prepared in a variety of ways, but my preference is to grill it.
The recipe can be found here.
Start by preheating a grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. You can also use your outdoor grill if you prefer.
Combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Season both sides of the chicken.
Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached.
Top each piece of chicken with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Loosely place tin foil over the grill pan to act as a cover to melt the cheese (or close your actual grill over to melt the cheese).
Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken to separate plates. Top each with a thick slice of tomato and freshly chopped basil. Drizzle with a balsamic glaze. Serve and enjoy!
I like to use store-bought balsamic glaze. It tastes great and comes in a little squirt bottle so it’s easy to use.

This is the perfect meal for a caprese lover! The chicken is cooked to perfection and all the other ingredients make this quite light and refreshing. Prepare a couple extra chicken breasts and you have lunch for the next day. The chicken and toppings hold up well overnight so all you must do is reheat and devour. I like to serve with a side of grilled or steamed vegetables.
Happy Cooking!
