Ingredients

Chicken

Topping

Instructions

  • Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl or a zip top bag. Add the chicken so it’s evenly coated. Let the chicken marinade for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge to have it not be so cold when going on the grill while the grill heats up.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat while you make the tomatoes.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the Roma tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine and let sit while you grill the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on the grill, close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. It’s done when the chicken reaches 165 F.
  • Remove to a serving plate and top with slices of mozzarella cheese, and 1-2 slices of tomatoes. Sprinkle with more basil slices and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
