Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 8 slices olive or Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)

Directions

  • 1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Set aside and keep warm.
