This 20 minute chicken caprese skillet is delicious and so easy to make. It requires minimal time and minimal ingredients. Chicken breasts, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, basil, and garlic. I made this after having chicken caprese this past weekend and needed an at home version. I love taking recipes and making them simple and easy. I love fancy recipes but hate the time they normally take .This meal feels fancy but isn’t difficult to make at all!

What Pan I Used:

I made this 20 minute chicken caprese skillet in my cast iron skillet. I also have an our place pan which I love but it’s not oven safe. Sometimes when I’m cooking dishes like this I like to stick it in the oven at the end to finish cooking. I’ll put the oven on broil to get everything nice and crispy.
