No reviews

This perfectly grilled chicken is topped with a delicious balsamic glaze and served with fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and basil for a light and flavorful Italian-inspired meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded to an even thickness
  • 2 tsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 tbsp Herb Seasoning
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 2 large, ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 tbsp freshly sliced basil
  • For the Balsamic Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to 375°F (190°C) and oil the grates if needed. Drizzle the avocado oil onto the chicken breasts and season with Rustic Herb Seasoning.
  2. Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cover the chicken loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is resting, make the balsamic glaze. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool in a glass jar.
  4. Slice the grilled chicken and serve it with slices of fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and enjoy!

Notes

  • This dish pairs beautifully with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad.
  • If you want a sweeter glaze, add a little extra brown sugar to the balsamic vinegar mixture.
  • You can also use pre-sliced mozzarella for convenience, but fresh mozzarella adds a creamy texture that complements the chicken perfectly.
