Ingredients
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved
- 3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon dried basil
- 3 medium tomatoes chopped
- ½ cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 4 Mozzarella slices
- fresh basil
Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Half each chicken breast horizontally as if you are butterflying it (Now you should have 4 thinner chicken breasts). Brush each chicken breast with some olive oil (about 2 Tbsp) and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil. Set aside and let marinate until you prepare the tomato topping. If you have time you can marinate it for a couple of hours or overnight.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, and minced garlic. Add about 1 Tbsp olive oil, season with salt and mix well.
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat (or use a grill pan to cook the chicken on the cook top).
- While you grill the chicken, prepare the honey balsamic vinaigrette. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- When the chicken is done, serve on a plate and place 1 mozzarella slice over each chicken breast. Top with tomato mixture and drizzle some honey balsamic vinaigrette. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use the ripest tomatoes for the best flavors. I like to use plum tomatoes but cherry tomatoes will also work really well.
- You can grill the chicken on an outdoor grill or on a grill pan on the stovetop. Be sure that the grill or pan is preheated before adding the chicken so that it cooks evenly through.
- Use an instant read thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked all the way through. It should register at 165F.
