Chicken Caprese Salad is a simple salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil.

  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1/2 pound spicy marinated bocconcini (mozzarella balls), plus the oil from the container

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks

salt & pepper

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

Olive oil, for grilling

Directions

1Strain the bocconcini out of the marinade (reserve the marinade). Transfer half of the marinade to a medium baking dish. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 4 hours.

2Quarter the bocconcini and transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining marinade and the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.

3Light a grill or preheat a grill pan and oil the grate. Grill the chicken over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and add to the bocconcini. Toss and serve on a bed of mixed greens.
