Ingredients
For 4 people (

Recipe
- 4 6 oz. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon(s) Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon(s) Freshly Ground Pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon(s) Extra Virgin Olive oil
- 12 Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Beefsteak Tomatos (cut 1/4 in slices)
Tomato Basil Stuffed Grilled Chicken Breast Directions
- Butterfly chicken breasts: Put halves on a cutting board, smooth sides down, with the pointed ends facing you. Starting on one long side, cut breasts almost in half horizontally (stop about 1/2 inch before reaching the opposite side). Open cut breasts like a book.
- Sprinkle each piece all over with 1/8 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Transfer to a plate, and coat both sides with garlic and oil. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan until medium-hot. Place 3 basil leaves on the bottom half of each opened chicken breast; top each with 2 slices tomato.
- Fold over other half of chicken breast, and secure with two toothpicks or short skewers.
- Grill chicken breasts, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
- Place on a clean serving platter; garnish with basil. If desired, remove toothpicks or skewers before serving.
