Ingredienser

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to a 1 inch even thickness)

2-3 garlic cloves (minced)

Kosher salt and ground pepper (to taste)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 lb cherry tomatoes (halved)

4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

½ cup packed basil leaves (thinly sliced)

Fremgangsmåte

Place the chicken in a ziplock bag together with the minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and oil. Mix thoroughly through the bag to coat the chicken breasts. Allow marinating for 30 minutes over the counter.

Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat up an outdoor grill.

In the same pan, quickly sauté the garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes with juices and season to taste.

Grill the chicken breasts until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165F, around 5-7 minutes per side.

Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella and remove from heat as it just begins to melt.

Top with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Slice and enjoy!
