Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

2 ripe tomatoes, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.

During the last few minutes of cooking, lay slices of fresh mozzarella and tomatoes on top of each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

On a serving plate, place fresh basil leaves and drizzle with lemon juice.

Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it over the basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze to enhance the flavors.
