Chicken Avocado Caprese Salad     

Ingredients:
Marinade/Dressing:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt

Salad:
4 chicken thigh fillets, skin removed
5 cups Romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup mini mozzarella / bocconcini cheese balls
1/4 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to season

Preparation:
Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Place chicken into a shallow dish; pour 4 tablespoons of the dressing / marinade onto the chicken and stir around to evenly coat chicken. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as a dressing.

Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with lettuce, avocado slices, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and chicken. Top with basil strips; drizzle with the remaining dressing; season with salt and pepper; serve.
