Description
Juicy grilled chicken meets ripe summer peaches, creamy mozzarella, and a tangy balsamic glaze in this Peach Caprese Grilled Chicken. It’s light, fresh, and packed with flavor — perfect for warm-weather dinners or impressing guests without the fuss.
Ingredients
1 cup balsamic vinegar
4–5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into ½ inch slices
4–5 medium peaches, pitted and sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Make the balsamic glaze: Pour balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes until thickened. It should coat the back of a spoon. If too thick, stir in a little water over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Pound the halves thin between parchment or plastic wrap.
Season and grill: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, rubbing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 5–8 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
Assemble: Place grilled chicken on a serving platter. Top with mozzarella slices and peach slices. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle fresh basil over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Slightly firm peaches work best so they hold their shape.
Balsamic glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
No grill? A grill pan or cast-iron skillet works too!
