Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 ripe peaches, sliced
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
During the last few minutes of grilling, add the peach slices to the grill to caramelize.
Once the chicken is cooked, layer the mozzarella slices on top of the chicken and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Remove the chicken from the grill and top with grilled peaches and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before grilling.
Feel free to substitute nectarines for peaches if desired.
This dish pairs well with a light salad or grilled vegetables.
