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.
