How to make Caprese Chicken Rollups
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C.
Step 2: Heat the balsamic vinegar with honey in a saucepan over high heat. Keep stirring until the sauce decreases to about 1/3 cup or 80 ml. And set aside.
Step 3: Slice the chicken breasts on a cutting board horizontally in half.
Step 4: Use a piece of plastic wrap to cover the chicken. And pound with the rough side of a metal mallet until half-inch or 1cm thick. Do the same for the rest of the breasts.
Step 5: Over pieces of chicken breasts, drizzle olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6: On each chicken piece, add 2 slices of mozzarella, 1/4 cup or 50g diced tomatoes, and 3 pieces of basil in order.
Step 7: Roll the chicken up and ensure to tucked under the ingredients and not pushed them out the sides as much as you can.
Step 8: Transfer the roll-ups in a greased baking dish, drizzle with extra olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 9: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the inside temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F or 71 degrees C.
Step 10: Remove from the oven and add a slice of mozzarella on each roll-up. Then, broil for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the mozzarella has melted.
Step 11: Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step 12: Before serving, add on each roll-up 1 basil leaf, a slice of tomato, and drizzle with balsamic reduction.
