Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the diced Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed, then set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Take the chicken breasts and optionally pound them to even thickness for uniform cooking, or leave them as they are. Coat each breast evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle and rub this seasoning blend evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
  4. Heat the grill to high heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through completely.
  5. When the chicken is almost done, top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain juices. Then, top each piece with the prepared tomato basil topping and drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over each serving. Serve immediately.
