1
Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Cook the Chicken
Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
4
Assemble the Caprese
Once the chicken is cooked, place a few slices of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast. Top with slices of fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Cover and let the cheese melt slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Serve
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the topped chicken and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired. Enjoy!
