Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 450 degrees F).
Combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, and shallot in a jar with a lid and shake. Set aside.
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.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Pour balsamic dressing to taste over the salad, add salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine. (You may have leftover dressing.)
Divide the salad evenly between 2 plates, top each salad with a chicken breast, and serve with lemon slices and green olives.
