Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella (sliced)
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the first 8 ingredients. Set aside.
- Place the chicken in a resealable bag and add about 3/4 of the marinade. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting the chicken while it grills. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
- Heat a grill to medium high. Grill the chicken for about 3 - 5 minutes per side basting with the reserved marinade. During the last minute or 2 of grilling, top the chicken with the mozzarella and continue grilling until it melts. Remove to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, quickly grill the tomatoes in a grill basket until slightly charred about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove to the platter with the chicken. Sprinkle with the basil, salt and pepper and serve.
