Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper

Caprese Toppings:

  • 4 slices mozzarella
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 2 tablespoons basil, sliced

Balsamic Reduction:

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic, and onion powder. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Grill chicken: Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray and cook the chicken breasts until almost fully cooked.
  3. Add toppings: Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella. Close the grill and allow it to cook for a few additional minutes to melt.
