Tomato and Mozzarella Stuffed Grilled Chicken
Flattened chicken breast, stuffed with fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato slices and drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Equipment
- 1 Butchers Twine
Ingredients
- 3 Ea Chicken Breast
- 2 Ea Roma or Garden Tomato Something Flavorful and not too small
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic Glaze Something semi-sweet will do great
- 1 Ea Fresh Mozzarella Sliced
- 1 Tbsp Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder Mix Season to your liking (but season in layers)
- 1 Ea Fresh Basil
Instructions
- Start by butterflying your chicken breasts and flattening them with a mallet or heavy pan.
- Lay the chicken out flat so that it creates one full "sheet" of chicken.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Layer with Tomato, Basil, Balsamic Glaze, Fresh Mozz, more Balsamic, and basil. (as shown in the photo)
- Using plastic wrap, begin tightly rolling up the chicken breast, ensuring that the tomato and mozzarella stay tightly inside the chicken.
- If you have butchers twine, this is where you would tie the chicken tightly.
- Season the outside of the chicken with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder, and Chopped Basil.
- Grill the chicken, top and bottom, for around 5 minutes on both sides, or until the chicken has some nice defined grill marks.
- Wrap the chicken in aluminum foil, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the inside of the chicken reads an internal temp of at least 165 degrees F'.
- Let the chicken rest inside of the foil on a cutting board for another 5-10 minutes. (This will help the chicken from becoming dry).
- Now slice the chicken and enjoy. I like to serve this with some fresh grilled veggies or next time some flavorful mashed potatoes.
