I liked the idea of this but the balsamic flavour didn't really come through. I put the chicken under the grill for a few minutes so the cheese could melt over the tomato. I had to splash balsamic all over the finished dish to give it some flavour.

Great recipe! We've had it several times since I discovered the recipe. I took the advice of other reviewers and baked the chicken, with the marinade, at 350 for 30 minutes. I then added the slice of mozzarella and broiled until melted, topped with tomato and basil just before serving. I could eat it multiple times a week!

I made these as sandwiches and also grilled the chicken instead of baking. Very easy to make would be great for entertaining, makes a great presentation. I only got to marinade the chicken breasts for a few hours, next time I will definately marinade for the full time.

Very good...I marinated my chicken in balsamic vinagrette dressing and then I grilled the chicken. I then placed on the fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and tomato, salt,pepper and a little more dressing. Served with grilled asparagus, red peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. Family loved it, very refreshing!

I made sandwiches with this. I baked the chicken for 30 minutes at 350, and than put the cheese on top and baked for another 5 minutes. I also spread pesto on the sandwich rolls rather than using plain basil. I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I left off the basil and tomatoes, which may have been a mistake. The chicken was still great but the cheese was a little bland and diluted the flavors. This would either taste great without the cheese at all or definitely WITH the cheese with basil and tom. I'll try it again and see what happens.

I used Mama's Balsamic Vinegrette (from this site) instead of bottled dressing. It gave the chicken wonderful flavor. I also layered the tomato slices, basil leaves, and fresh mozzerella and drizzled with balsamic vinegar while the chicken was cooking so that they could absorb the flavor better. I placed the chicken breasts on good deli hoagie style rolls with the tomatos etc on top and drizzled with a little more vinegar. This was good...but I think that it was missing something. Next time I think that I might put some horseradish mayo on the bread to give it some bite.

I've been making chicken with this marinade for years and it is absolutely delicious 5++ stars. I use good seasons dressing mix and use balsamic for the vinegar. In the summer I BBQ the chicken on low for 8 minutes per side and add the slice of tomatoe(or even roasted red peppers--which I like more) and top with the mozz cheese and let that sit for 1 more minute on the grill til it just melts alittle...and boy does my family and guests love me. Don't pass this up. Any cooking method this turns out delicious.

This recipe is incredible. It's a new favorite around our dinner table. I also used a homemade balsamic dressing the second time since the store bought kind was a bit stinky, even though it still tasted good. It's a good idea to fillet the chicken breasts. I then cut them into thirds so that people can choose their own serving sizes.

Made this last night, we loved it! I made a couple of changes. One, I marinated in a super easy, but delicious homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Two, I filleted the breasts for really fast cooking--3-4 minutes per side, over med. high heat. I think 30 minutes over even low heat would dry the chicken out. By filleting them, you cook them faster, and they stay really juicy and moist. Served with green salad tossed with more of our dressing. We'll definitely have this again--it's great for a warm summer evening, and it tastes really fresh with the cool tomatoes and creamy mozzarella. Thanks!

This was good and a fresh tasting summer recipe. It was easy, made with staples in the kitchen. I used the balsamic dressing from this site, but would probably used store bought next time (I buy really good balsamic and it is a waste to marinate with it). I'm not sure I would marinate for 24 hours next time either. I think if you got this going in the am you would be fine. Good, easy and tastey. You can not ask for more than that. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is wonderful, however I did modify it quite a bit: I marinated the chicken for 24 hours (which I highly recommend) and seasoned it with garlic and onion salt before cooking. Like others I decided to bake it (35 minutes @ 400 degrees) and added the cheese in the last minutes. I warmed the tomato and basil over low heat before serving as well. This is a wonderful dish that I would highly recommend.
