To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Thread the chicken, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and basil leaves onto skewers. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze before serving. The Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and Caprese Skewers are a perfect combination of crispy, cheesy, and fresh flavors. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
