Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 medium breasts)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut each chicken breast in half width-wise so you have 4 thin chicken cutlets. Rub chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic.
Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken over medium-high heat, flipping once until chicken registers 165F. Transfer chicken to a baking dish.
Top each chicken breast with a few slices of mozzarella, and a tomato slice. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Broil chicken breasts under high heat 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top chicken with basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve chicken immediately and enjoy!
