10 Cooking Tips for the Italian Chicken Caprese Recipe
- notch the chicken breast with deeper cuts on the thicker side and shallow cuts on the thinner part, so that the chicken breast thickness is pretty even
- instead of canned tomatoes, you can also use fresh tomatoes that you have to peel and chop beforehand
- use a quantity of sugar depending on the acidity of the tomatoes and your tastes, the sauce must be sweet-sour at the end
- boil the tomato sauce until it has a more viscous consistency but is still slightly fluid
- fry the chicken fillets to be evenly browned on both sides
- chicken breast can also be grilled, not only fried in a pan
- use fresh mozzarella that you have to cut into slices about half a finger thick with which you will top the chicken breast fillets
- put the pan in the oven only if it has a heat-resistant handle, if you are not sure, better transfer the ingredients to a dish that withstands the temperature in the oven
- leave the food in the oven just enough for the mozzarella to melt, it usually takes 5-10 minutes
- sprinkle fresh basil leaves over both the melted mozzarella and the tomato sauce, then serve the chicken Caprese immediately
