    Skillet Caprese Chicken from 5DollarDinners.com

    This recipe is one of our new MyFreezEasy meals. And while I’ve written the directions below for making it as a “fresh meal,” I would highly recommend freezing the chicken with the oil and balsamic because it will marinate beautifully as it thaws!

    These fabulous flavors combine in a skillet to make an amazing, fresh and ‘light’ weeknight dinner. Also, I highly recommend the fresh basil garnish on this. Yes, the little packets of leaves are expensive (hint: grown your own…it’s super easy!) But in this kind of meal, the fresh flavor is key!

    Bon appetit!
