Directions:

  1. WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
  2. We took the classic pairing of mozzarella and tomato outside by grilling tomato slices and topping them off with mozzarella dressed with a fresh basil vinaigrette. Grilled chicken cutlets added heft to the duo.
  3. Serves 4
  4. Purchase ripe but still firm tomatoes so they will hold their shape when grilled.
  5. INGREDIENTS
  6. Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  7. Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  8. Garlic cloves, minced
  9. Salt and pepper
  10. Tablespoons olive oil
  11. Ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices, halved, and patted dry
  12. /2pounds chicken cutlets, trimmed
  13. Tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  14. INSTRUCTIONS
  15. Combine basil, vinegar, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Slowly whisk in oil until thoroughly incorporated. Transfer 2 tablespoons vinaigrette to bowl and toss with mozzarella; reserve remaining vinaigrette.
  16. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken and tomatoes over hot fire until chicken is well browned and tomatoes are lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Top with tomato slices and drizzle with reserved vinaigrette. Cover with even layer of mozzarella and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
