Grilled Chicken Margherita is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the classic flavors of a Margherita pizza with grilled chicken. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
For Balsamic Glaze:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to coat evenly.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- In the last couple of minutes of grilling, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the grill to lightly char them.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey or maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the glaze has thickened.
- Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with grilled cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella slices.
- Close the grill lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
