Another Simple Summer Meal

This is another super simple summer dinner that we had recently. It took no time at all and was delicious.

The dish is called Caprese Chicken and I found it on the Delish website. 

Here's what you need to make it:
Two boneless chicken breasts, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, and some garlic.

Making it could not be more simple. You don't really need a recipe, but feel free to check the link for details. First you cook seasoned chicken breasts for about 6 minutes on a side and then remove from the pan. Next, add balsamic vinegar and minced garlic to the pan and saute for about a minute. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Saute for around 6 minutes. Add basil. Tuck the chicken pieces back in the pan. Cover the chicken and tomatoes with slices of mozzarella. I covered the pan and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese. Sprinkle with more basil when you are ready to serve. I put thick slices of French bread in a basket to use to soak up every drop of that delicious sauce.

In the heat of our summer, I am all about making as little a fuss in the kitchen as possible. If you try this recipe, let me know how you liked it. I've got it on repeat!

I think I've made this one before. We have so many cherry tomatoes and plenty of basil so it's a good one for us right now!
