Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half over the chicken breasts and reserve the other half.
Step 4
In a small bowl, halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Step 5
Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the tomatoes.
Step 6
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomato mixture.
Step 7
Pour in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and stir the tomato mixture to combine.
Step 8
Season the tomato mixture with a pinch of salt and set aside to marinate.
Step 9
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and grill marks form. During the last minute of grilling, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 11
Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter.
Step 12
Spoon the marinated tomato mixture over the top of the grilled chicken.
Step 13
