Peach Caprese Grilled Chicken

• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 20 minutes
• 总时间: 35 minutes

配料

1 cup balsamic vinegar

4-5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into ½ inch slices

4-5 medium peaches, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

步骤

Make the balsamic glaze

Pour a cup of balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil on the stovetop. Then, reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. Check the consistency by dipping a spoon in the mixture. If it coats the back of the spoon, the glaze is ready. As the reduction cools, the consistency will become more syrup-like. If you happen to reduce the vinegar too much and it beomces a bit too sticky, simply stir a bit of water into the mixture over low heat. Remove the glaze from heat.

Prepare and grill the chicken

**Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally. Place the halves, two at a time, between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the meat until thin. Repeat until all halves are pounded thin. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Rub the oil over the chicken to evenly coat. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 5-8 minutes per side.

Plate the dish

Place the grilled chicken on a platter. Top the chicken breasts with an even layer of mozzarella slices. Spread the peach slices over the mozzarella. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the chicken, mozzarella, and peaches. Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the entire dish.
