A delicious and healthy Paleo recipe that combines the flavors of balsamic grilled chicken with the freshness of a Caprese salad. Perfect for a light and satisfying meal!
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 large tomatoes, sliced. 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced. 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves. Balsamic glaze for drizzling optional.
Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, marinate overnight. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 75C. While the chicken is grilling, arrange tomato, mozzarella, and basil slices on a serving platter. Once the chicken is cooked, place it on top of the tomato, mozzarella, and basil slices to slightly melt the cheese. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve immediately, and enjoy your Paleo Balsamic Grilled Chicken with Caprese Salad!
