Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

2. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the mixed greens evenly among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and avocado slices.

3. Add Fresh Basil: Sprinkle the torn basil leaves over each bowl for a burst of fresh flavor.

4. Dress the Salad: Drizzle each bowl with balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil. Squeeze lemon juice over the top and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

5. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and nutritious Caprese Bowl.

Notes

Success Tips: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before grilling. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

Pairing Suggestions: Pair with a crusty baguette or a side of quinoa for a more filling meal.
