Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette marinade
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large California avocados, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with balsamic vinaigrette, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
  • Place chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • During the final 60 seconds of grilling, place one slice of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast and cover the grill to melt.
  • Remove the chicken from the heat and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes to retain juices.
  • Top each chicken breast with several slices of fresh California avocado.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
