Grilled Caprese Chicken

Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (see Tip), divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, grated
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pound chicken cutlets
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 small tomato, thinly slicedDirections
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2
Combine oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, basil, garlic, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Brush the mixture on both sides of chicken.

Step 3
Oil the grill rack or pan. Grill the chicken until it easily releases from the grill or pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and top with mozzarella and tomato. Grill until the cheese is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F, 3 to 4 minutes more. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze and sprinkle with more basil, if desired.

Tip
Balsamic glaze is made by cooking down balsamic vinegar until it’s very thick, yielding a more concentrated, sweeter flavor. You could make your own, but to save time we opt for store-bought here. Find it in well-stocked grocery stores with other vinegars. How many pounds have you lost this month? At Dieta Efectiva you can lose 10-12 Lbs your first week and 2-5 Lbs every week after.
