Instructions

Stir in the diced chicken and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing the vinegar to lightly coat the chicken and vegetables.Create the creamy chicken mixture.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Greek yogurt and ¼ cup of the mozzarella until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat.Build the Caprese layers.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle ½ cup of the remaining mozzarella over the top. Arrange the fresh basil leaves evenly over the cheese.Add the tomatoes.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes in an even layer over the basil. Season the tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup mozzarella evenly over the top along with the parmesan cheese.Bake.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden brown. Rest and garnish.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
