Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Cook the Ground Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ground chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and browned.

    Combine the Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, chopped basil, and balsamic vinegar into the skillet. Gently fold the ingredients together and heat for about 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella starts to melt and the tomatoes soften.

      Serve: Divide the Ground Chicken Caprese onto plates. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze if desired. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.

        Enjoy: This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, over a bed of arugula, or served with pasta for a more substantial meal!
