Chicken Caprese Bowls

Here is a dinner version of caprese that's healthy and filling! Recipe serves two.


Ingredients:
Two boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Jar of pesto sauce
6 oz fresh small tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)
4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese (I used half of a mozzarella ball from the store)
Handfull of fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

Directions:
1. Coat the chicken breasts with a little olive oil, then spread a layer of pesto sauce on both sides of the chicken breasts.  Grill for about six minutes on each side, or until no longer pink.
2. While the chicken is cooking, chop up the tomatoes, cheese and basil into bite-sized pieces. Grab two bowls and put half of this mixture into each.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, chop them into bite-sized pieces and divide between the two bowls.
4. Add olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, then stir each bowl to combine. You may want to add a little more pesto sauce for extra flavor. Enjoy!
