3-Ingredient Dinner Ideas: Balsamic-Glazed Caprese Chicken

First, let’s prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half. Set aside to cool.

Next, season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, preheat your broiler. Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with slices of mozzarella cheese and cherry tomato halves. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Drizzle the prepared balsamic glaze over the chicken Caprese, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your simple yet elegant meal!
