We love fresh tomatoes and the health benefits are huge. Grilled chicken is easy enough to make, but it lacks that extra mmmmmmmm factor to help us get excited about eating it. We found this quick and delicious dinner idea online and we thought we would share it. Check out the 15 minute open faced Chicken Caprese Sandwiches!
