Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breasts Boneless, Skinless, Trimmed of Excess Fat
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar Plus 2 Tablespoons
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Tomato
  • 4 slices Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
  • 4 leaves Basil fresh, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Swerve brown sugar substitute

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breast with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cover and allow to rest on the counter as the grill heats, no longer than 1 hour.

  2. Prepare the grill according to the manufacturer's directions to burn at medium-high heat.

  3. Place the chicken on the grill and cook, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Test the chicken for an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  4. Remove the chicken and top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella. Tent the platter with aluminum foil and allow the cheese to melt.

  5. Meanwhile, place the remaining balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan with the brown sugar sweetener. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and immediately reduce the temperature to medium-low, allowing the vinegar to reduce by half. The vinegar will thicken as it cools. If the mixture becomes too thick to spoon over the chicken, add 2 teaspoons of water and return to the heat, stirring until the mixture is mixed and begins to thicken again.

  6. To serve, remove the foil and top the cheese with a slice of tomato and sprinkle of fresh basil. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
