Grilled Chicken Peach Caprese


This was the absolute best time of year to be making this dish. We love peach season in our house and I love getting creative with how we will use it. I have been a caprese junkie this summer with tomatoes but wanted to change it up with peaches instead.

This was extremely easy to make and one of my new favorite dinner ideas. We served it over brown rice but you could pick any side to make with it in addition.

Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8oz of fresh mozzarella
Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
3 ripe peaches
Fresh basil chopped - I like to cut mine making it into "ribbons"
Balsamic vinaigrette

Directions
Trim fat from the chicken breasts and cut breast in half
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook on the grill until golden brown.
While grilling warm 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar in a small pot on the stove
Once chicken is finished grilling melt the mozzarella cheese over the chicken while still on the grill.
Remove chicken from the grill
Top with sliced peaches (I tried to do two pieces per chicken breast.)
Finally drizzle balsamic over the chicken and top with the basil ribbons.

Enjoy! It will easily become a family favorite.
