Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.

While the chicken is grilling, slice the mozzarella and tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Place 2 slices of mozzarella on top of each grilled chicken breast, followed by 2-3 tomato slices and 3 fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken breasts just before serving.
