I love Caprese Chicken and so does my family! It's so fresh and flavorful, and that fresh mozzarella cheese - YUM! I love how easy sheet pans are too, just toss everything onto the pan and bake it! Nice and simple! This Caprese Chicken Sheet Pan was super easy to make, and it was bursting with flavor! The pesto, the fresh basil, the melty mozzarella, those delicious roasted tomatoes! And of course, you have to bring it all together with a nice balsamic glaze! This dish gives such a summer vibe!

Preheat oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, whisk and combine all ingredients for the chicken marinade besides the chicken.
Using your hands, liberally toss the chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Wash cherry tomatoes and dry them with a paper towel. Add to sheet pan and toss them in a little oil, salt and pepper.
After the 30 minutes, stir mayo and pesto into the chicken marinade.
Put chicken in the middle of the sheet pan and lay the tomatoes around it, towards the edges of the pan.
Bake 15 minutes.
When the sheet pan is done, evenly distribute the fresh mozzarella on top of everything and broil on low 5 minutes. If the cheese isn't getting as melty as you like, you can pop the broiler on high for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish Caprese Chicken Sheet Pan with fresh basil and balsamic glaze drizzle
