Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken breasts dry and rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat your grill to medium-high. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Place chicken on the hot grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is golden with grill marks.

  4. 4

    During the last 2 minutes of grilling, layer sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on each breast. Close the lid to allow the cheese to soften and slightly melt.

  5. 5

    Remove chicken from the grill. Top with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
