Easy Chicken Caprese Salad…

Easy Chicken Caprese Salad – Its a little late to be talking about tomatoes and summer salads but we just have to share this one with you. Grilled Chicken Breasts with a traditional Caprese Salad.  The usual ingreds. are spicy marinated mozzarella balls, (need the oil marinade for the chicken)…boneless chicken breast and cherry tomatoes sliced and basil.

Simple use the mozz. ball oil marinade to marinade the chicken for a couple

of hours. Grill off chicken, slice into bite-size pieces and toss with the sliced or whole-round mozz.  balls and basil and tomatoes (sliced or whole).

What a great easy salad to make and share even if it is a little late in the season.

its labor day weekend …yes the unoffical end of summer , last grilling days, fam bbq’s, days at the beach, camping, boating, fishing….all that good summer fun stuff….and of course the unofficial end of all that summer food like grilled everything, meats vegi’s , even breads (on the grill)….time to squeeze in those last deck parties with cool cocktails, lite appetizers, shelling the peanuts and letting the shells fly in the summer breeze (outside of course)….

And farewell to the classic Red Potato Salad we love here at Millennium Gourmet Catering…we don’t peel em, we boil them in garlic water (4-5 cloves in the pot of water) , cool them when knife tender and mix with mayo, celery, pimento, olives dill pickle relish and dash of mustard, lots of salt and pepper, tossed, tasted , re-seasoned and chilled til served.

its such the quintessential summer dish, its cool, refreshing , great with grilled meats and fish and even better the next day with a grilled meat sandwich from the pre-grilled goodies…farewell to the Red Potato Salad
