A Heart Healthy Easy Dinner Idea

Ah, February. Heart Month! Not just for lovers!! February is also heart health month! Now, we should be concerned with our heart health every month… and while I think the majority of the recipes on my blog are healthy and good for your heart, here’s one especially for Heart Health Month: Caprese Chicken Recipe – perfect for a family or a romantic date night at home!

Caprese Chicken is lightly seasoned with quality olive oil, herbs, and good-for-you tomatoes. Fresh mozzarella cheese is low salt and fat, and you can modify how much you include to fit your diet needs. (If you’re dairy-free, you could even leave this part off and add some extra crushed garlic and onions to fill out the flavors).

Ingredients:

3 Thin sliced chicken breasts
2 Roma tomatoes
4 Large basil leaves
9 thin slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
1/8 Cup cold pressed olive oil

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
In a glass baking dish, place your 3 pieces of chicken into bottom of the pan

While your chicken is cooking, cut 2 of your basil leaves into small strips
Place your cut basil leaves into your cold pressed olive oil, let sit for the whole 25 minutes
Now slice your tomatoes to the thickness you like
After your chicken is done baking, drizzle half your basil infused olive oil onto your chicken breasts, straining out your basil
Place your 3 slices of fresh mozzarella onto each chicken breast

Caprese Chicken is really a simple recipe that will please your family and keep your heart happy too!

Food is a primary way we can care for our heart year-round, but there’s other ways too. Exercise, fresh air, quitting unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking are others.

And… being sure to get annual checkups, especially as you age. Ask your primary care doctor what else you can do to support a healthy heart!

Loving your heart!

Another way to help maintain a healthy heart is to really understand your health insurance plan. You may be entitled to free wellness checkups and other services, depending on your plan.

I have stuffed chicken breast before, with feta cheese and arugula or something like this. And my Family was indeed impressed 😉 The Caprese combo sounds pretty amazing!

I’m always looking for lighter chicken recipes. This looks like a good one to try!
