Caprese Chicken Twist

Marinate trimmed chicken breasts in zesty Italian dressing and kosher salt, 2-20 hours. Grill or oven roast, cooking to firm 165°F internal temp, backing by sight and touch. Substitute fresh mozzarella with burrata for creaminess or use heirloom tomatoes instead of roasted for brighter pop. Melt cheese on top before serving, finish with basil, drizzle aged balsamic glaze. Add shredded pecorino or smoked salt in place of parmesan or Maldon. Timing’s a guide; trust sizzle, juices to judge doneness. Always oil grill grates to prevent sticking; discard marinade after chicken’s out to avoid contamination. Enjoy texture contrasts – melted cheese, tender chicken, vibrant basil and sharp, sweet balsamic tang.
