Anyone who knows me must know that I’m Caprese happy. I like anything Caprese. I can turn anything into Caprese. So since chicken is one of my favorite foods, I had to experiment! It’s super easy and a great way to make your average chicken dish a little different! I remember when I made this dish I wanted to make it a one dish meal because there is nothing better than preparing dinner all in one dish, sticking it in the stove and calling it a day! I like to take advantage of the fact that I’m a stay-at-home mom so when the kids are playing nicely, yes that does happen sometimes, just not for a long amount of time. TRUST me, you can prepare this dish in minutes and just pop it in the oven when it’s dinner time! Don’t forget to check out my other Caprese “addictions” I mean creations!
