Chicken Caprese
Chicken breast provides plenty of complete protein, while mozzarella adds calcium and keeps the filling soft and juicy. Tomato and basil brighten the flavor, and olive oil makes the dish more satisfying without adding many carbs. The result is a simple hot dinner with a clear ingredient list and good satiety.
Chicken Caprese turns the familiar combination of tomato, mozzarella, and basil into a warm main dish that is easy to cook for one dinner.
Cut a deep pocket into the chicken breast (150 g) without slicing all the way through. Slice the tomato (70 g) and mozzarella (60 g) thinly, then finely chop the basil (5 g), keeping a few leaves for serving.
Fill the pocket with the tomato and mozzarella slices, season lightly with table salt (2 g), sprinkle in part of the basil, and place the chicken into a small baking dish. Drizzle with half of the olive oil (28 g), pour water (30 g) into the bottom of the dish, and place it in the oven.
Bake at 200°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese inside is soft and melty. Do not overcook it: once the juices run clear, the dish is ready.
Transfer the finished chicken to a plate, spoon over the remaining olive oil and a little of the hot cooking juices from the dish, then finish with the rest of the basil and serve right away.
