Summertime Chicken Avocado Caprese Salad ♥

 Here is a healthy dinner salad for summer using my favorite product by Belgioioso 










Ingredients ♥

Marinade/Dressing:

1/4 cup  balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt


Salad:

4 skinless boneless chicken breast 

5 cups Romaine, (or cos) lettuce leaves, washed and dried

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced

1/2 cup mini mozzarella / bocconcini cheese balls  Belgioioso  brand

1/4 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper, to season


Directions ♥

Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Place chicken into a shallow dish; pour 4 tablespoons of the dressing / marinade onto the chicken and stir around to evenly coat chicken. Reserve the untouched marinade to use as a dressing.

Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill or sear chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.

Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with lettuce, avocado slices, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and chicken. Top with basil strips; drizzle with the remaining dressing; season with salt and pepper; serve and enjoy!
