These are very moist, flavorable and tender

Serves 2: Simply double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.
Ingredients:

Salt & Pepper to taste
2 cups of grape tomatoes halved
2 tsp olive oil
¼ cup pesto
4ozs sliced mozzarella
Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions:
1. Season chicken with salt & pepper
2. Make foil pockets big enough to seal up once all the ingredients are in, ensuring enough room to avoid hitting the cheese with the foil.
3. Divide tomatoes among packets. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive and salt & pepper to taste.
4. Place chicken in each packet
5. Spread pesto over chicken (about 1/8 cup on each)
6. Fold foil packets to seal, while avoiding the foil touching the cheese
7. Pre-heat the BBQ to med/high for about 5 mins
8. Grilled covered, rotating the packets halfway through
9. Ensure the thickest part of the chicken measures 165 degrees
10. Carefully open packets and drizzle with balsamic glaze
Enjoy!
