Chicken Caprese Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and then coat with bread crumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let marinate for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare Pesto Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together the pesto sauce and mayonnaise until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns. On the bottom half, layer marinated tomato slices, followed by the crispy chicken, slices of fresh mozzarella, and a generous spread of pesto mayo. Top with fresh basil leaves and cover with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Caprese sandwich!
