"Wow! Can't wait to try this. Tonight sounds just right, 90 degrees and humidity is climbing with NO RAIn."

"We are going to heat the zucchini , tomatoes, and mozzarella in order to release the nutrients in the tomatoes. Then cool and eat or eat hot. Can't wait ! Thanks, Purdue! (You can cut chicken up into small cubes, marinate, brown in pan and get the same results for those of you that don't have a grill or it's just too hot to grill tonight:)!)"

Balsamic Grilled Chicken Caprese Salad

Ingredients

4	PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, All Natural (1.5 lbs.)
4 tbsp	balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp	olive oil
1/2 tsp	salt
1/4 tsp	black pepper
2	large zucchini
2 cups	tomatoes, chopped
4 ounces	mozzarella pearls
1/4 cup	fresh basil
1/4 cup	toasted pine nuts

Step one: Whisk

Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and black pepper. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the 4 chicken breasts and ½ of the balsamic dressing. Set the remaining dressing aside for serving. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step two: Spiralize

With a mandoline, julienne peeler or spiral slicer, turn the zucchini into noodles. Onto a large platter, combine the zucchini noodles, chopped tomatoes and mozzarella pearls.

Step three: Grill

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes per side until done. Chicken is done when it feels firm to the touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

How to: Grilling

Step four: Serve

Top the platter of zucchini noodles, tomatoes and mozzarella with chicken pieces. Drizzle with remaining balsamic dressing and garnish with basil chiffonade and toasted pine nuts
