To cook chicken on the grill:
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F).
- Remove the chicken chicken and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the leftover marinade.
- 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.
- Cook until the chicken registers at 165°F . Turn off the heat, but leave the chicken on the grill.
- 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.
- 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.
