- Prep Time 20 min
- Total 40 min
- Ingredients 8
- Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 large plum (Roma) tomatoes, cut into 4 slices each, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Fresh basil leaves, if desired
Instructions
-
Step1Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
-
Step2Using sharp knife, cut 4 crosswise slits about 3/4-inch apart in top of each chicken breast, carefully cutting almost to bottom of chicken breast, but not through. Place each chicken breast on center of each foil sheet.
-
Step3Spoon slightly less than 1 teaspoon pesto into each slit in chicken breast. Place 1 mozzarella slice and 1/2 tomato slice in each slit. Sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
-
Step4Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
-
Step5Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 9 to 10 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove packs from grill. Carefully fold back foil; garnish with fresh basil leaf.
