Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Start by trimming the chicken breasts of any excess fat. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Veggies

    While the chicken is marinating, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil coarsely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking the chicken, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, allowing them to blister and soften.

  3. 6

    Finishing Touch

    Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the cooked chicken and tomatoes, then add the chopped basil just before serving.
