Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup mozzarella balls
  • 2 tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil
  • Lemon slices, for serving
  • Green olives, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 450 degrees F).
  2. Combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, and shallot in a jar with a lid and shake. Set aside.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
