Grilled Chicken Caprese

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
10 oz grape tomates, halved
1 tsp minced garlic
½ c fresh basil, torn
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
4 – 1oz slices fresh mozzarella

Marinate chicken in balsamic vinaigrette dressing for at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hrs.
Preheat outdoor grill. Combine halved tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
Reduce grill temperature to medium, cook chicken for 7 minutes on one side and flip for another 7 minutes.
During the last 1-2 minutes, add a piece of fresh mozzarella to each chicken breast, close the lid and allow cheese to meld. Remove from heat, top each chicken breast with the tomato-basil mixture, and serve immediately.
