Summer is nearly here! I chose this recipe because it is a simple meal and great for the longer days we’ll get to experience the next few months. You may be familiar with Caprese Salad, and this recipe takes the simple concept of that salad and turns it into a hearty meal for the whole family. The chicken will easily please even the youngest diner while the pepper medley is sure to please any adult diner, which is great because you can cook only one meal while customizing each plate. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I did – happy summer!
