Cuisine: Italian 
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cook Time: 10 minutes 
Total Time: 20 minutes 
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste (I use a little more than 1 tablespoon)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 3 medium vine tomatoes, chopped
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 1/4 pounds thin-sliced chicken cutlets (about 8)
• 3 ounces part skim mozzarella, cubed or shredded (optional)

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a small bowl, combine onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Put the tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the garlic, basil, balsamic/olive oil/onion mixture and an additional 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside. (Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little spice.)
3. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill to medium-high. (If you don’t have a grill, use a grill pan or skillet.) Season the chicken with salt and pepper. (You could use white or dark chicken meat for this recipe.)
4. Grill chicken 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Chicken is cooked through at 165 degrees F internal temperature on a food thermometer. (You can cook the chicken on an indoor or outdoor grill. If you don't have either, simply cook them in a skillet.)
5. Put the chicken on a plate and top with tomato mixture and cheese. Drizzle with additional balsamic, if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
