How to cook deliciously - Caprese Chicken Foil Packs

1. Stage

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes.

2. Stage

Season chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange 4 (16"-by-12") pieces of foil on a flat surface. Pull up sides to form a shallow boat. Divide tomatoes among foil packets. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon oil; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

3. Stage

Nestle 1 chicken breast into each foil packet and spread pesto over tops of chicken. Arrange mozzarella over pesto. Tightly fold foil packets to seal, leaving some room between foil and cheese.

4. Stage

Grill, covered and rotating packets halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165º, 18 to 20 minutes.

5. Stage

Carefully open foil packets. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with basil.
