Creating Grilled Chicken Margherita is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the chicken.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
4. Add Tomatoes: During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place the halved cherry tomatoes on the grill. This will slightly char them and enhance their sweetness.
5. Top with Mozzarella: Once the chicken is cooked, place slices of fresh mozzarella on top of each chicken breast, allowing them to melt slightly from the heat.
6. Remove from Grill: Carefully take the chicken and grilled tomatoes off the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish: Top the grilled chicken with fresh basil leaves and the grilled cherry tomatoes.
8. Drizzle Balsamic Glaze: If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire dish for an added layer of flavor.
9. Serve: Arrange the Grilled Chicken Margherita on a serving platter for everyone to enjoy.

Following these steps will ensure that your Grilled Chicken Margherita is not only delicious but also visually appealing.
