Ingredients:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 4–5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into ½ inch slices
- 4–5 medium peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Directions:
- Prepare Balsamic Glaze: In a saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon. If too thick, add water over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Grill Chicken: Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally. Pound the halves thin and coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 5-8 minutes per side.
- Plate the Dish: Arrange grilled chicken on a platter. Top with mozzarella slices, peach slices, and chopped basil. Drizzle balsamic reduction over the entire dish.
Notes: Experiment with grilled vegetables or serve over a bed of greens for a lighter variation. Ensure chicken is cooked through, reaching a safe internal temperature. Adjust balsamic reduction consistency according to preference. This dish pairs wonderfully with a chilled white wine or sparkling beverage.
