Grilling season is my favorite and this recipe is most definitely going to be on repeat all spring and summer. We’re talking juicy balsamic marinated chicken with melty mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil and a creamy balsamic mayo.
And to make them the absolute best, I used Rhodes Warm & Serve French rolls. If you love a crusty bread that’s light and fluffy on the inside, you will adore these rolls.
They are incredible on their own, slathered with soft, salted butter or when used to make sliders. They would also be the perfect addition to your holiday meal.
Ingredients for Caprese Grilled Chicken Sliders
Just like all my favorite recipes, the ingredient list is simple on this one. Here’s what you are going to need:
Prep the Chicken
First, check on the size of your chicken. If they are way larger than the rolls, cut them in half so that they’ll fit nicely as sliders.
Once the chicken is cut to the right size, it’s time to marinate. Add chicken to a bowl or ziplock bag. Drizzle in the dressing and move around the chicken to ensure it’s coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least one hour and up to four hours.
Bake Rolls and Grill the Chicken
Preheat your oven according to the directions for the rolls and preheat your grill to about 400 degrees F.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake. While the rolls are getting toasty and delicious, grill the chicken. If you’re using chicken thighs, you’ll need to grill them about six to seven minutes per side.
Once you’ve cooked both sides, top each with mozzarella and close the lid of the grill and cook another minute or until the cheese melts.
Time to Assemble the Caprese Grilled Chicken Sliders
In a small bowl, combine the mayo and a tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette. This makes a super simple and delicious sauce for the sliders.
Split the rolls in half then slather with mayo. Add a chicken breast then top with a slice of tomato and some fresh basil.
Place the top of the roll and enjoy.
