Caprese Salad
Ingredients
- ΒΌ cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Dried Basil
- 1 tsp Salt
Salad
- 4 Thin-Cut Chicken Fillets skin removed
- 5 cups Spring Mix Lettuce washed and dried
- 1 Avocado sliced
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes sliced
- 1/2 cup Mini Mozzarella Cheese Balls
- 1/4 cup Basil Leaves thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Place chicken into a shallow dish or freezer bag. Pour 4 tbsp of the dressing / marinade onto the chicken and stir around to evenly coat chicken (you may also add your normal chicken seasonings). Reserve the untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
- Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill or sear chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with lettuce, avocado slices, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and chicken. Top with basil strips; drizzle with the remaining dressing; season with salt and pepper; serve.
- Enjoy!
