You all know mine and John’s love for Caprese. Whether it’s Roasted Red Pepper Caprese Grilled Cheese for lunch or having Caprese Baked Eggs for breakfast or a twist on it making the classic Caprese Salad with my Tomatoes Napoleons . “Insalata Caprese” is a simple salad made of sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, olive oil and salt. So when I found these amazing wine barrel staves at Williams Sonoma I knew they would pair perfectly with a caprese salad on top of chicken!

Ingredients
 

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cups roasted red peppers chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 6-8 fresh basil leaves 3 tablespoons chiffonade (cut into shreds)
  • balsamic glaze can substitute balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat grill over high heat. Top the hot charcoal with 2 wine barrel staves (or if you use an indoor grill pan or decide not to grill see Cook's Note below). Grill each chicken breast about 4 to 6 minutes on each side (depends on how thick the breast is). The chicken should be solid white throughout. This step obviously involves John doing most of the work.
  • Remove chicken from the grill. Top each breast with divided portions of the mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes and roasted bell peppers, and then basil.
  • Drizzle balsamic glaze on each portion.

*Cooks Note: If you are not a griller (like myself) or if you are using an indoor grill pan. Marinate the chicken in 1/4 c. red wine + 1/4 c. olive oil for 2 hours. Then grill as directed above or you can bake the chicken wrapped in aluminum foil at 450 degrees for 1 hour. Depending on how thick the chicken breast is you might have to cook a little longer. Then proceed to #2 above.
