I love a Caprese salad of tomatoes, basil and cheese, so why not try a chicken caprese? You can grill this dish, but my family agrees it's juicier straight from the oven. -Dana Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. Otherwise, the chicken was cooked well and the sauce was tasty.
