Instructions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, add the chicken, parsley, garlic, canola oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2
Place the grill plate on the unit. Turn the dial to set temperature to 375°F. Set an external timer to 7 minutes and allow the grill plate to preheat.
Step 3
When the unit is preheated, add the chicken to the grill plate, gently pressing down to maximize grill marks. Let the chicken cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, then flip and press down for 5 seconds. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 4
After the 5 minutes, place tomatoes on chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Close the lid and let the cheese melt for 4 minutes.
Step 5
When the cheese is melted, transfer the chicken to a platter or plate. Top with basil, then drizzle with balsamic glaze.
