Bruschetta Chicken Caprese
We absolutely LOVE Caprese anything around here. The combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil is a classic flavor I’ll never get tired of. This Grilled Bruschetta Chicken recipe fits right in with our other favorite dishes!
If we don’t have anything in mind for dinner on a warm summer evening, my favorite thing to do is throw together a quick Caprese Salad and pass it back and forth. Meaning, we, just eat a whole lotta cheese and tomatoes for dinner, and I can’t imagine anything better…
Except this grilled chicken caprese, because then it feels like an official meal. Tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella piled on top of juicy balsamic grilled chicken? The perfect combo!
Grilled Chicken Caprese
We love grilling chicken in the summer time for light and tasty meals. This Grilled Bruschetta Caprese Chicken is always a hit!
Grilled chicken is one of the healthiest things I make, and luckily we don’t have to sacrifice taste to get it. The balsamic reduction adds sooo much flavor, and a heaping spoonful (or two) of the caprese mixture makes it so fun to eat.
Recipes like this make me want to grill every single night, so I can be super healthy while still enjoying every last bite! I’m so lucky to have a husband and dog that love grilling too. There’s really no better way to enjoy the summer!
How to Make Grilled Bruschetta Chicken
You won’t believe how easy this grilled bruschetta chicken recipe is. Other than some quick grilling, there’s practically nothing to it. Grill chicken, top with delicious caprese salad, and done in no time!
- Start by making the caprese mixture so it’s ready when the chicken is hot and fresh off the grill.
- Preheat your grill, then make your balsamic reduction. Grill chicken breasts about 6-8 minutes per each side. Brush with the balsamic reduction while cooking.
- When the chicken is done, top each piece with cheese and allow to melt.
- Spoon lots of the caprese bruschetta over the chicken and serve!
What to Serve with Bruschetta Caprese Chicken
I feel like I could just eat this grilled bruschetta chicken on its own (with a nice glass of wine) and be plenty satisfied. But to make it into a full meal, it’s nice to add a couple of sides into the mix.
To keep it healthy, you could serve a bit of rice, a salad, and some grilled vegetables for good measure! Here are my fave sides for this grilled chicken recipe:
- Grilled Lemon Butter Asparagus
- Zesty Panzanella Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
- Caprese Farro Salad
- Cheesy Baked Tomatoes

Ingredients
For Chicken
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 4 slices whole milk mozzarella
For Caprese Bruschetta
- 3 roma tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella chopped (I used Pearl size)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
For Chicken
Heat grill to High Heat (be sure you've properly seasoned your grill before starting). Place a medium saucepan on the grill and add the 1 cup balsamic vinegar plus the honey to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium/low. Cook for 10-20 minutes or until Balsamic Reduction is thickened to your liking. Set aside. Increase grill heat back up to Medium/High.
Add chicken breasts to a large bowl. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to combine and coat the chicken.
Place chicken breasts on the grill top side down and brush liberally with the balsamic reduction. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes. Flip chicken, brushing the other side with more Balsamic Reduction. Cover and cook an additional 5-6 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Top each chicken breast with one slice whole milk mozzarella. Cover and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until cheese has melted. Transfer to a larger platter and spoon the caprese bruschetta over the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For the Caprese Bruschetta
In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the Caprese Bruschetta. Keep in the fridge until the chicken is done and then spoon over chicken (see above).
