Chicken Caprese Casserole
(adapted from "a Life to Bragg About" blog)

Ingredients:

2-3 Chicken Breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup Cream Cheese (I used neufchâtel)
1Tbsp. Kosher Salt
1Tbsp. Freshly Ground Pepper
Juice from 1 squeezed lemon
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Red Onion, diced
2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
1 large Tomato, chopped (I used a fresh, juicy heirloom)
1/2 cup freshly chopped Basil
Fresh Mozzarella
Shredded Mozzarella
Panko Breadcrumbs
1Tbsp. Olive Oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except panko, fresh mozzarella, & shredded mozzarella. Place in baking dish. Top with pieces of fresh mozzarella, then add shredded mozzarella & finally with panko. Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. I broiled on 500 degrees at the end for a few minutes to brown up the panko.
