A delightful twist on classic grilled chicken, topped with a fresh Caprese-inspired topping.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Grill the chicken on one side for about 6 minutes.
Avoid moving the chicken too much to get nice grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, dice the tomatoes and mozzarella, and chop the basil. Mix them in a bowl with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Flip the chicken and grill the other side for another 6 minutes.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Top each chicken breast with the prepared tomato mixture and close the grill lid for 2 minutes to warm the topping.
The cheese should start to melt slightly for the best presentation.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
