1. Trim the chicken breasts and place in an airtight container or plastic bag along with Italian dressing and Kosher salt. Marinate the chicken for 1-24 hours.

To cook chicken on the grill:

1. Heat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F).
2. Remove the chicken chicken and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the leftover marinade.
3. Oil the grates and place the chicken over indirect heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side. This will be determined by the thickness of your chicken and can vary greatly.
4. Cook until the chicken registers at 165°F . Turn off the heat, but leave the chicken on the grill.
5. Place 2-3 slices of roasted tomato and mozzarella cheese on each breast. Shut the lid and allow to heat until cheese just starts to melt, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Remove from the grill and plate, topping with the fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic reduction sauce. Parmesan cheese, Maldon sea salt and freshly ground pepper are optional.
