Ingredients

For Chicken

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 4 slices whole milk mozzarella

For Caprese Bruschetta

  • 3 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella chopped (I used Pearl size)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

For Chicken

  • Heat grill to High Heat (be sure you've properly seasoned your grill before starting). Place a medium saucepan on the grill and add the 1 cup balsamic vinegar plus the honey to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium/low. Cook for 10-20 minutes or until Balsamic Reduction is thickened to your liking. Set aside. Increase grill heat back up to Medium/High.
  • Add chicken breasts to a large bowl. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to combine and coat the chicken.
  • Place chicken breasts on the grill top side down and brush liberally with the balsamic reduction. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes. Flip chicken, brushing the other side with more Balsamic Reduction. Cover and cook an additional 5-6 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Top each chicken breast with one slice whole milk mozzarella. Cover and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until cheese has melted. Transfer to a larger platter and spoon the caprese bruschetta over the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For the Caprese Bruschetta

  • In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the Caprese Bruschetta. Keep in the fridge until the chicken is done and then spoon over chicken (see above).
