Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is grilling, chop the fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the mustard with a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Top each chicken breast with chopped tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and a generous spoonful of pesto sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle the mustard dressing over the top and serve warm.
