Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
3 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups mixed salad greens
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the balsamic glaze by combining balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips.
On a large serving platter, arrange the mixed salad greens as a base.
Layer the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese over the greens.
Top with the sliced grilled chicken and scatter fresh basil leaves over the salad.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the entire salad.
Serve immediately.
