Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts approx. 600g
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Grill brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Top each chicken breast with mozzarella slices and halved tomatoes, then cover the grill for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken breasts are of similar thickness for even cooking. Serve immediately while the cheese is melted.
