Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, quartered

1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.

    Prepare the Grill/Pan: Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

      Cook the Chicken: Grill or pan-sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

        Make the Caprese Salsa: While the chicken is resting, prepare the salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, torn basil, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.

          Assemble the Dish: Slice the balsamic chicken into strips or serve whole. Top with a generous scoop of Caprese salsa, and drizzle with balsamic glaze for an added burst of flavor.

            Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chicken with salsa on top, and for a beautiful presentation, garnish with a sprig of basil.
