Directions

Pre Bake the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 220°C. On a large sheet pan, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and salt until well coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes.

While the potatoes are baking, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried basil, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices on top of each chicken breast. After the initial 15 minutes of baking, remove the sheet pan from the oven and carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts on the pan with the potatoes.

Bake and Serve!

Lower the oven temperature to 195°C and return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a finishing touch. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, along with the roasted baby potatoes, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.

Feel free to garnish with fresh basil leaves for added freshness and flavor.

Notes

When pre-baking the potatoes, make sure to spread them in a single layer on the sheet pan for even cooking and browning.

To prevent the chicken from drying out, make sure to check for doneness using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 75°C.

If you prefer a different type of cheese, try substituting the mozzarella with provolone or fontina for a unique flavor profile.

Leftover Sheet Pan Chicken Caprese Bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
