Chicken Caprese in One Pan!

Oh my goodness so delicious! This chicken is super tender and moist (I hate that word but it perfectly describes this meal). The zest of the balsamic sauce with the gooey mozzarella cheese is a perfect blend. This recipe is simple because you're only using one pan which makes cleaning up easy.
