Easy Chicken Caprese Recipe
What You Need:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin or butterflied)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- pink salt
- black pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 juice lemon
- 1/4 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and add 1-2 tbsp of avocado oil to the skillet. Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken the hot skillet, making sure not to over crowd the skillet, and cook through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and top each piece with a slice of mozzarella. Quickly cover the plate with foil and set aside, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Lower heat to medium-low. If desired, splash wine into the pan and deglaze browned bits with a wooden spoon (we did not use wine in the video). Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 1 minute, then stir in butter and add halved tomatoes.
- Allow the tomatoes to blister, about 3-5 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the lemon juice and half of the fresh basil.
- Add the cheesy chicken back into the hot skillet, top with blistered tomatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil and top with remaining fresh basil prior to serving.

Loved this!
I’m usually intimidated by new recipes. This is a new favorite for us. Love the ability to use wine or skip it. The fresh basil drew me to this dish.
So easy and yummy! I used chicken stock instead of wine.
I made this recipe two nights ago and at the time didn’t think that I was making it with 6 servings, so I ended up with leftovers! I did not have any lemon or avocado oil but did use the white wine and subbed the avocado oil for EVOO. I have to say that not only was this delicious the first night, it was even better as left overs. Something about the oil, wine, and herb sauce just made this dish magical. I will make it over and over again!
Do you have a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake made with sugar-free maple syrup as the sweetener?
This was so good! I used white cooking wine and I think that’s what set it over the top. Such a simple recipe that did not disappoint. I would make this for friends and family.
This was perfect in a pinch. Used left over costco rotisserie chicken. So it came together even faster!
Looks like dinner tonight! Love you guys!
It would be helpful if side dish ideas were also presented. ..please.
Thank you so much for this recipe.It is now my family’s favorite chicken recipe. I used Menage a Trois pinot grigio instead of lemon and more butter. It is good even if you aren’t on keto.
WOW! I’m new to ketoconnect, but I’ve made this dish (for the first time) twice already! So easy, super, super delicious – 5+ stars!
Welcome to the KetoConnect family!
