Skillet Chicken Caprese

Ingredients

  • 2 pints  Grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small  Red onion, thinly sliced, cutting each ring into quarters
  • 1/4C + 3T  The Olive Grove’s Tuscan Herb Olive Oil, divided
  • 1t  The Olive Grove’s White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 cloves  Garlic, minced
  • 1T + 1t  Dried Oregano, divided
  • 2t  The Olive Grove’s Seasonello Herbal Salt, divided
  • 1lb  Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts (I like to pound them out a little to keep them uniform in thickness)
  • 1t  Black pepper
  • 10 oz  Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

 

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, 1/4C olive oil, balsamic, garlic, 1T oregano and 1t salt, and mix until blended well and transfer to a serving platter.

Preheat a large skillet (preferably a cast iron skillet) to medium-high heat with 2T olive oil.  Season chicken on both sides with 1T olive oil, 1t oregano, 1t salt and pepper.  Cook chicken in skillet about 5 minutes and flip.  Once flipped, place mozzarella rounds on top of the chicken and cook another 5 minutes, or until cooked through.  The thickness of your chicken may change cooking times.  Remove from heat and transfer to the tomato platter placing on top of the tomato mixture and serve.
