- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
Let the chicken rest after grilling to retain its juices. For added flavor, consider garlic or Italian herbs in the marinade.
