Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound fresh thin sliced skinless and boneless chicken breast
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 clove garlic, minced / finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
Dash of salt
3 small tomatoes sliced
8 ounces of fresh Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh Basil leaves
1 large Red Onion, thinly sliced
A few toothpicks broken in half and soaked in water for 20 minutes (to keep them from burning)
Directions:
Directions:
1) Mix the olive oil, onion powder, garlic, parsley, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
2) One by one take the chicken, lay it out flat and brush each side with the mixture.
3) Put one slice of tomato followed by one slice of mozzarella cheese, one slice of red onion, and one to three basil leaves on one half of each piece of chicken- and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
4) Fold the other side of the chicken over the tomato and mozzarella so it completely covers the pile and secure with toothpicks.
5) Place chicken on grill and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side. It will cook quickly!
6) Set the chicken aside and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Personal Notes:
I love Caprese salad- the mixture of fresh mozzarella, vine ripened tomatoes, basil and red onion with olive oil is such an amazing combination, and to add it to chicken is just a bonus! Serve with oven-roasted or grilled potatoes or fresh grilled veggies.
