Caprese Chicken Wraps Recipes

CAPRESE CHICKEN ROLLUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over high heat. Stir until sauce reduces to ⅓ cup (80 ml). Set aside.
• On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally.
• Cover chicken with a piece of plastic wrap. Using the rough side of a metal mallet, pound the chicken until ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Repeat with remaining breasts.
• Drizzle olive oil over pieces of chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• Place 2 slices of mozzarella on each piece of chicken. Spoon ¼ cup (50 g) of diced tomatoes on each piece of chicken. Place 3 pieces of basil on each piece of chicken.
• Roll up the chicken, making sure the ingredients are tucked under the breast and not pushed out the sides.
• Place the roll-ups in a greased baking dish. Drizzle each roll-up with more olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160˚F (71˚C).
• Place one slice of mozzarella on each roll-up. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes until the mozzarella has melted over the chicken.
• Let chicken rest for 10 minutes. Place a basil leaf and slice of tomato on each piece of chicken. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
• Enjoy!

CAPRESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts, Italian salad dressing, Italian herb seasoning, and chicken seasoning into a resealable plastic bag, knead bag several times to coat chicken with marinade, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Pour canola oil into a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the oil until a small droplet of water pops in the oil. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and discard used marinade. Place chicken breasts into hot oil, fry for 2 minutes, and flip chicken.
• Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a tomato slice.
• Return to oven and bake until cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken breasts to a serving platter and top each with a basil leaf and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

STUFFED CAPRESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch glass baking pan.
• Combine 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, cream cheese, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
• Slice chicken lengthwise on the side of each breast to make a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Stuff cheese and spinach mixture into each breast. Secure filling by sealing each pocket with 2 to 3 toothpicks. Season with lemon-pepper seasoning and place in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; it's okay if some of the cheese and spinach mixture spills out while baking.
• Remove from the oven and top with tomato slices and remaining mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and return to the oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese on top is bubbly and golden, 10 to 15 more minutes.

CAPRESE CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the tomato salad: In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar, and toss to coat.
• Make the caprese chicken: Add the flour to a large plate. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl. On a separate large plate, mix together the bread crumbs, ½ teaspoon salt, the pepper, and garlic powder.
• Season the chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt each. Dredge in the flour, then dip into the eggs, letting an extra drip off, then coat in the bread crumb mixture.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Fry the chicken, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is deep golden brown. Flip the chicken and arrange the sliced mozzarella on top. Cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted.
• Pour the tomato salad on top of the chicken breasts, letting some of the tomatoes slide into the pan around the chicken. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C) and the tomatoes are warmed through.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter and top with the tomatoes. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and garnish with the torn basil.
• Enjoy!
