Caprese salad is known for its light & fresh taste. If you add in some marinated chicken & sandwich it between a ciabatta bun, you’ve got a heartier meal that won’t leave you feeling weighted down.

Ingredients:

1 lb marinated chicken (thighs or breasts)

1 tomato

1 fresh mozzarella ball

Basil

S & P

Balsamic glaze

Ciabatta rolls

For the marinade:

3/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 – 2 garlic cloves, grated

Juice of a half of a small lemon

Preparation:

In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade & transfer to a gallon size bag. Add in chicken of choice & shake to incorporate the marinade evenly. You can also use bottled Italian dressing in lieu of making your own. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. I like to do this the night before for maximum flavor.

Slice tomato & season with S & P.

Cook your chicken either on the grill or in a skillet until thermometer inserted in the middle reads 165°.

Toast the buns.

Assemble sandwiches with chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, & drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!
