Directions

Prepare your grill for indirect cooking and preheat to 350°F.
Cut horizontal slits in the chicken breast being sure to not slice all the way through the chicken about ¾ of an inch apart. Coat with canola oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fill each of the slits with minced garlic, one tomato, one basil leaf and one half of a mozzarella slice.
Place on the grill and cook for 30-45 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
Remove from the grill and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
