A quick caprese chicken is one of my favorites, as I can simply bake the chicken, and make a tomato and balsamic sauce while it's in the oven. The flavor combination of cooked tomatoes with balsamic vinegar is a staple in Italian cooking for a reason. Especially when topped with cheese, this recipe makes a great main to a side of roasted artichokes
