Chicken Caprese cooked just right in a sweet, garlic balsamic glaze with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and topped with melted mozzarella cheese! Balsamic vinegar might be the most sublime of all the vinegars. Sweet and smoky, this dark elixir can be used in salad dressings, sauces, and marinades, and even drizzled over steaks or fresh fruit.
