Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Make the Tomato Basil Relish

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes and chopped basil. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and immediately sprinkle the shredded Italian cheese blend on top. Cover the chicken with a lid for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Plate and Drizzle

    Place the grilled chicken on a serving plate, top with the tomato basil relish, and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
