1. Combine the basil leaves, olive oil, garlic cloves, and red wine vinegar in a blender. Process until smooth. Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish, pour marinade over, and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear.
2. To assemble the wraps: Place one sliced chicken breast in the center of each spinach flatbread. Top with a slice of smoked mozzarella, a generous spoonful of caponata, and a handful of fresh spinach. Roll tightly and serve immediately for peak flavor.

Caponata Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat (use grill side burner if available). Saut red onion until tender and translucent. Add diced eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and soft.
2. Stir in celery, tomatoes, olives, capers, pine nuts, and raisins. Cook 15 minutes to meld flavors. Add red wine vinegar and a pinch of sugar; simmer 10 more minutes. Adjust seasoning. Remove from heat, fold in parsley, and cool to room temperature for best taste.
