Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 chopped small onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3-4 cooked chicken breasts
  • 1 8-ounce ball fresh mozzarella, cubed
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the butter in a 9×13 baking dish or a 2 quart baker. Bake the butter in the oven until it melts, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Arborio rice, onions, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the chicken broth over and cover with tin foil. Bake for 35 minutes.
  • While the rice is cooking, combine the sliced tomatoes, onions (I like onions in my caprese, so I added a little bit at the last minute), olive oil, and balsamic. Gently toss in the mozzarella and basil. Set aside.
  • Take the rice out of the oven and fluff with a fork.Top the rice with chicken breast and the caprese.
