Caprese Salad with Chicken

I love a cold salad with warm chicken. So yummy. This salad is freaking delicious already. I made mine different by using the smaller tomatoes, but they work perfect for a salad. The chicken makes it a meal, momma! These flavors are classic - the fresh basil with the salty mozzarella and the sweet tomato play well with the tangy balsamic vinegar. I could eat this all day, every day.


Ingredients
2 chicken breast, cubed
1 container grape tomatoes, halved (I chose the yellow ones)
8 oz. Formaggio Fresh All Natural Mozzarella (the fresher, the better!)
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar (aged if you have it)
8 - 10 large fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp garlic powder
Sea salt to taste
Freshly cracked or ground or coarse black pepper

Directions
Spray frying pan with cooking spray and turn heat to medium. Add cubes of chicken, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook till golden brown (about 20 minutes). Toss together the tomatoes, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar. Slice the basil into rough pieces and toss into the salad. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerated to serve a little bit later too. Serve with fresh Italian bread, if desired.
