Grilled Chicken Caprese with Avocado & Balsamic Glaze

A recipe that tastes like summer, feels like comfort, and looks like love on a plate

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large ripe tomato, thickly sliced
• 1 ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced
• ½ ripe avocado, sliced
• Fresh thyme or basil leaves
• 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
• Optional: roasted cherry tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken with Love:

Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle olive oil.

Grill each chicken breast for 5–7 minutes per side until cooked through and golden with slight char lines — those beautiful little kisses from the flame.

2. Build the Layers of Flavor:

While the chicken rests (because rest is important — for food and for us), slice the tomato, mozzarella, and avocado.

Carefully lay a warm chicken breast on each plate. Gently stack a slice of tomato, followed by mozzarella and avocado, as if you’re tucking them in with care.

3. Finish with Emotion:

Drizzle rich, glossy balsamic glaze over the entire stack — don’t hold back. Let it cascade like a final brushstroke on a canvas.

Garnish with fresh thyme or basil, a touch of cracked pepper, and if you like, a few roasted cherry tomatoes on the side.
