Grilled Blasamic Chicken w/ Pesto

Grilled Balsamic Chicken with Pesto
(adapted slightly from Eat, Live, Run's recipe on PBS)
-serves 2

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
1/4 to 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons of pesto, homemade or store-bought

Place chicken and balsamic vinegar in a large plastic bag. Seal bag tightly and place in fridge to marinate for one hour. (Don’t marinate this recipe overnight because over a long period of time, the acid in the vinegar may break down the chicken breast, forming a mushy texture.)

After chicken breasts have finished marinating, preheat grill (or prepare grill pan on the stove, or oven to 400 degrees F). Grill chicken breasts until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side (about 15-20 minutes total in oven).  Remove chicken and place on a plate.

Turn broiler on high and top each chicken breast with mozzarella.  Place chicken breasts on a foil-covered sheet tray and broil until until cheese melts and bubbles.  Top each chicken breast with a dollop of pesto.  Serve immediately with garlic bread and broccoli (what we did) and enjoy!
