Balsamic Chicken Caprese Stack
This balsamic chicken caprese stack recipe is a delightful twist on the traditional caprese salad, making a beautiful presentation for any occasion.
When we first built our raised garden beds, one of the things I was most excited about was planting a Caprese garden.
A 4×8 garden bed planted with basil and the other half planted with beefsteak tomatoes.
If only mozzarella could be planted and grown with such ease.
I got the idea for this recipe last summer when my girlfriends and I were on a spa getaway.
The restaurant at the hotel stacked the sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil into a beautiful display.
I decided to recreate the plate with the addition of chicken.
Enjoy this delightful recreation of the classic Caprese salad.
Bon appetit!
