Griddled Chicken Caprese
Description
Griddled Chicken Caprese is a fresh, flavorful twist on a classic Italian favorite, made entirely on the flat top. Juicy chicken is seared until golden and topped with melty mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for the perfect balance of savory and bright flavors. The griddle gives the chicken an incredible crust while bringing everything together quickly and evenly. It’s a simple but impressive meal that feels light, fresh, and packed with summer-inspired flavor.
