Caprese Baked Chicken

Blogger Brooke McLay from Cheeky Kitchen takes crispy-baked chicken, and tops it with all the makings of a caprese salad in this simple, flavorful dinner. Panko bread crumbs lend an extra-light, crunchy texture to the final baked chicken that pairs beautifully with the flavors of fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.

Caprese salad & chicken ! ,whats not to love! Sounds good & easy enough. Also I like the thought of this on the grill too as was suggested. I think I'll try it both ways,the oven for now , it's not quite grill weather here yet!
