Caprese Style Grilled Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tomatoes (about 1 pound), seeds removed, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5 ounces each)
• 3 ounces shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
• 3 ounces whole wheat angel hair pasta, cooked following package directions (about 5 minutes)

  Directions

  1. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, mustard, mint, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper. Gradually drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly, so mixture emulsifies.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine  tomatoes, basil and 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Cover and set aside.

  3. Heat a gas grill to medium-high or the coals in a charcoal grill to medium-hot. Lightly coat grill rack with oil or nonstick cooking spray.

• 4. Brush chicken with remaining dressing and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Scatter cheese over top during last minute of cooking.

• 5. Toss cooked pasta with half of the tomato salad. Serve with chicken and remaining tomato salad.
