Recipe View Marinate Chicken: In a resealable plastic bag, combine chicken breasts, Italian salad dressing, Italian herb seasoning, and chicken seasoning.

Recipe View Garnish and Serve: Transfer the Caprese Chicken to a serving platter. Garnish each breast with a fresh basil leaf and a delicate drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Time: 1 minute)

For best results, use high-quality fresh mozzarella and ripe, flavorful tomatoes.
If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use any oven-safe skillet. Just be sure it's large enough to hold all the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat.
Serve with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
