Baked Chicken Caprese (Gluten free Option)
This Baked Chicken Caprese is an easy, one-pan dinner recipe! It comes together in less than 30 minutes! I usually don't have more than 30-minutes to make dinner, plus I aboslutely hate doing a million dishes after dinner. If you're like me, this is the ideal weeknight dinner recipe! This skillet is packed with crispy chicken cutlets, fresh tomatoes, melted mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and rich tomato sauce. Plus if you're gluten free like me, I just use gluten free breadcrumbs and this is an easy gluten free recipe.
