Avocado Caprese Skillet Chicken
The Caprese (tomato, basil, fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegar) combination is one of the worlds best ingredient combinations…and then you add avocado into the mix and things become over-the-top delicious! This Avocado Caprese Skillet Chicken will quickly become a dinner favorite! There’s layer after layer of goodness.
When I make a Caprese dish, more often then not lately you’ll also find some perfectly ripe avocados in the mix of things, because why not?
Avocados are healthy, they’re creamy, they have a mellow yet incredible flavor, and they pair perfectly with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.
