Saturday night's dinner, alright alright alright, ooh

For dinner last night I made the family a Blackened Chicken Caprese Salad. I think my favorite part of this meal is the chicken and fresh mozzarella. It's a break from casseroles, hamburgers, and even taco nights. As delicious as they are, they're dishes we easily find ourselves making over and over. It's also a quick dish that you prepare earlier in the day or even the night before and just let sit in the fridge until you're ready to eat it!

   Ingredients:

16oz box Rotini pasta

8oz container cherry tomatoes

8oz Mozzarella  pearls

3/4th cup Pesto

3 tablespoons Olive Oil

2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

1 teaspoon Cayenne

Parmesan to garnish

3 chicken breast

Directions:

1. Cook and drain the pasta.

2. Slice cherry tomatoes in halves.

3. Mix in mozzarella pearls.

In a small bowl mix in pesto, olive oil, vinegar and cayenne.

4. In a large bowl or pot mix pasta in with tomatoes and mozzarella.

5. Stir in liquid mixture.

6. Prepare chicken anyway you like, we blackened ours!

7. Add chicken into bowl and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours.
