To make this chicken dish, I started by seasoning some chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

I heated some oil in an oven safe skillet over medium heat.

Once the oil was hot, I added the chicken to the skillet.

I cooked the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Then I added some minced garlic to the skillet and stirred.

After the garlic had cooked for about 20 seconds, I removed the skillet from the heat.

Then I added some balsamic vinaigrette to the skillet.

I topped the chicken with halved mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and fresh chopped basil.

I placed the skillet in the oven and baked until the chicken had reached an internal temperature of 170F.

Then I removed the skillet from the oven.

I drizzled some balsamic glaze on top.

Then the Caprese chicken was ready to serve.
