Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh basil leaves, torn
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Rub chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Burst Tomatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to burst. Set aside.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the grilled chicken on a plate. Spoon the burst cherry tomatoes and their juices around the chicken.
- Add Burrata & Garnish: Tear the burrata and place it on top of the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil or balsamic glaze, sprinkle with torn fresh basil, and serve!
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Mozzarella can be substituted if burrata isn’t available.
- For a complete meal, serve with crusty bread or over a bed of pasta.
- This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days. Burrata should be added fresh when reheating.
