- Place the chicken and tomato skewers on the grill. After 2 minutes turn the tomato skewers and grill another 2 minutes before removing them. After 4 minutes turn the chicken skewers. Let them cook another 2-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the grill.
- Drizzle the chicken and tomato skewers with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh chopped basil before serving if desired.
