This is my grilled chicken caprese. I came up with it because I always love the classic caprese flavor combination. It was very good and has become a huge hit with whoever I share it with.

Grilled Chicken Caprese

chicken cutlets (breasts, halved)
Pesto
olive oil
kosher salt
tomatoes, diced
fresh mozarella

Marinate the chicken in pesto thinned with a little olive oil and kosher salt for anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.
Toss the diced tomatoes in a little olive oil and kosher salt. let sit while you start to grill the chicken.
Heat the grill. leave one side high and turn the other low. lay the chicken on the cooler side of the grill. When you flip the chicken to cook the second side, smear the cooked the side with some extra pesto (not from the marinade. We don't want to make people ill) and top with the diced tomatoes and cheese.
Close the lid and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
