Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for grilling)
- 1-2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 half-inch thick slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
Instructions:
Prepare the Grill:
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat, setting it up for indirect cooking.
Season and Grill the Chicken:
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil or use a non-stick grill spray. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (70°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
Add Mozzarella and Melt:
- Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast during the last 1-2 minutes of grilling, allowing it to melt. Keep a close eye to prevent the cheese from melting excessively or sliding off.
Rest the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a plate. Loosely cover with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the chicken to finish cooking and retains its juices.
Prepare Balsamic Tomatoes:
- In a small bowl, gently combine the sliced cherry tomatoes with balsamic glaze.
Serve:
- To serve, place each mozzarella-topped chicken breast on a plate. Top generously with the balsamic tomatoes mixture and sprinkle with thinly sliced fresh basil.
Enjoy:
- Serve the Mozzarella Chicken with Balsamic Tomatoes immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides. Enjoy the flavors of juicy chicken, melted cheese, tangy balsamic tomatoes, and fresh basil!
This dish is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal on the grill, combining the richness of mozzarella with the brightness of balsamic-glazed tomatoes.
