It may be January but I am channeling allllll the summer vibes right now with this delicious Caprese Chicken Skillet. This time of year I really start missing all of the fresh summer produce, especially tomatoes, so I was excited to find a yummy new product that allows me to have super fresh tomatoes year round. I used canned Salad Ready Tomato Wedges with Olive Oil and Italian Spices, along with just a few other ingredients, to create this quick and easy Caprese Chicken Skillet. Each serving is 3 Blue WW SmartPoints/5 Green WW SmartPoints and 235 calories.
The Salad Ready Tomato Wedges are the star of the show. They’re grown in California and gently cooked before canning – they go from field to can in just five hours! Their process locks in all the flavor, freshness, and nutrition. allowing us to have tasty tomatoes all year! You can find the red tomato embossed can in the canned tomato section of your grocery store, usually under the store labeled product (i.e. under the Great Value brand products at Walmart).
To make our Caprese Chicken Skillet we just need four chicken breasts, a few spices, olive oil, a can of Salad Ready Tomato Wedges, shredded mozzarella, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze. The tomatoes themselves are marinated in a little olive oil and seasoned with an Italian spice blend. You can’t go wrong with these bright and flavorful ingredients!
The whole dish cooks in one skillet on the stove top and comes together in just about 20 minutes. I used the tri-colored variety of canned tomatoes because I love adding pops of color to my meals whenever I can – they’re beautiful! I served my chicken with a large salad but it would also be great served over some pasta or zoodles.
My Caprese Chicken Skillet makes 4 servings at 3 Blue WW SmartPoints/ 5 Green WW SmartPoints and 235 calories each. Enjoy! #SaladReadyTomatoWedges
- 4 trimmed chicken breast (1 lb)
- 1 10oz can Salad Ready Tomato Wedges (tri-color or original) with Olive Oil and Italian Spices
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp store bought balsamic glaze
- fresh basil
- Season chicken breast with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. The chicken breast will be cooking quickly in a skillet so if they are particularly thick you might want to cut them in half or pound them thin. Each breast is about 4 oz.
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sear on each side for 3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Reduce heat and pour the juice from the tomatoes over the chicken breast. Top each breast with ½ oz of shredded mozzarella and then divide the tomato wedges over the top of the chicken. Cover and cook for an addition 5-8 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temp has reached 165F.
- Drizzle the chicken breast with balsamic glaze and top with fresh basil. Enjoy!
The entire recipe is 13 Blue WW Smartpoints: Chicken (0), mozzarella (5), olive oil (4), 10 oz tomatoes (2), balsamic glaze (2), herbs (0)

Any idea where I can find those tomatoes??? A google didn’t lead me to them…
They are being sold under the store brand right now – you can get Great Value brand at Walmart. If you can’t find them I’m sure they have something similar!
