Caprese with grilled chicken and pesto

This caprese with grilled chicken and pesto elevates a classic into a full meal. Ripe tomato and creamy mozzarella are layered with thinly sliced grilled chicken, peppery rocket, a spoonful of fresh green pesto and fragrant basil as a finishing touch.

Phase 4 is about balance and maintenance, and this salad shows that beautifully. The combination of chicken and mozzarella delivers plenty of protein that satisfies and supports your muscles, whilst tomato and rocket stay fresh and light, and the pesto adds flavourful, healthy fats. This keeps your protein diet balanced and enjoyable, with a dish that both nourishes and indulges.

Lovely with a slice of toasted sourdough or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra depth. A handful of pine nuts finishes off this protein-rich caprese perfectly.

Zo maak je het

  1. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and grill in a pan until cooked.
  2. Slice the grilled chicken into thin slices.
  3. Arrange the tomato and mozzarella alternately on a plate.
  4. Lay the rocket and chicken on top.
  5. Spoon the pesto over the salad and finish with basil.
  6. Serve immediately.

Bewaren

Store the salad without pesto, covered, for up to 1 day in the fridge. Add the pesto and basil preferably just before serving for the freshest flavour.

Variatietips

Try swapping the green pesto for red pesto or tapenade for a richer tone. Grilled courgette or a handful of olives gives the caprese even more Mediterranean flavour.
