Caprese Chicken

I went through a little spell of not meal planning to try and use what we had in the house. That rarely pays off for me. I'm just not that creative. I need rules and guidelines and recipes to follow! It just works for me.

Well, apparently I had a breakthrough with this dinner because it was DELICIOUS! I used things that I had in the fridge and basil from my garden. Nice.

I think I will be making this again this summer. Easy, light and delish.
