Ingredients
Scale
- 2 grilled chicken breasts
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fire up your grill and let it get nice and hot! Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then place it on the grill. Cook until beautifully charred and fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes each side. Let it rest before slicing.
- Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes into thick, even slices (about 1/4-inch thickness).
- Layer the sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, and grilled chicken on a serving plate artfully, alternating between the ingredients.
- Sprinkle a generous handful of fresh basil leaves over the layers to elevate the dish.
- Drizzle olive oil followed by balsamic glaze over the top.
- Finish with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the juiciest chicken, consider marinating in olive oil and lemon juice for a couple of hours before grilling.
