This crispy Caprese chicken is the dinner that you absolutely need to make this summer.

The cool burrata cheese with the warm, roasted tomatoes and crispy cutlets is irresistibly delicious.

And believe me, I’m not just saying that either. I actually couldn’t stop myself from eating these. They were out of this world good.

Chicken Cutlets are a staple at my house and I make them for my family all the time.

We love to eat them plain, but I’m always looking for new and delicious ways to jazz them up. This recipe was perfect!

Not only is this dish unbelievably good, it’s also super impressive looking, too. All you really need to serve this with is some Homemade Garlic Bread and you’re good to go.

I made this for a casual family dinner at home but this would be the perfect thing to make for a dinner party or holiday.

I really hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Crispy Caprese Chicken Variations

I like this recipe for Caprese chicken made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Chicken- I love my recipe for Chicken Cutlets but feel free to use your own or pick some up from you local Italian deli. You can also make this lower in carbs by using grilled chicken, too.
• Cheese- I just love how creamy burrata cheese is but fresh mozzarella would be ok to use, too.
• Balsamic- Aged balsamic vinegar or a balsamic glaze would both be great for this recipe.

Crispy Caprese Chicken Ingredients

• Homemade Chicken Cutlets or Store Bought
• Cherry Tomatoes- rainbow colored or red
• Olive Oil
• Crushed Garlic
• Burrata Cheese
• Shredded Fresh Basil
• Balsamic Glaze
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°

First, add the cherry tomatoes to a baking dish, drizzle them with olive and add the crushed garlic. I made the mistake of cutting my garlic too small and some burned. So be sure to keep the garlic in larger pieces to avoid that mistake.

Now, season the tomatoes with salt and pepper then toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated.

Then, place them into the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes or until they are blistered.

Next, lay the Chicken Cutlets down onto a serving platter.

Now, add a scoop full of the tomatoes onto each piece of chicken.

Then, carefully slice up the burrata cheese and lay the pieces onto each of the chicken cutlets beside the roasted tomatoes.

Next, sprinkle the shredded basil on top.

Finally, drizzle the chicken with the balsamic glaze, serve and enjoy.
