Ingredients:
- 4 - boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves butterflied open
- 6 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves - garlic thinly sliced
- 2 cups - halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cups - halved Peppadew peppers plus 1 tablespoon brine
- - kosher salt and ground pepper
- 6 ounces - mozzarella thinly sliced
- 1/4 cups - packed fresh basil leaves
- 1 cups - packed fresh baby arugula for serving
- - grilled crusty bread for serving
Directions:
Pound chicken between pieces of plastic to a scant 1/4-inch thick.
Heat grill to medium-high. Combine 1/4 cup oil and garlic in a large cast-iron skillet; place on grill. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and Peppadews; season with salt and pepper. Cook until mixture thickens slightly and tomatoes burst, about 12 minutes.
Remove skillet from grill; cover grill to reheat (about 5 minutes).
Drizzle chicken with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Flip, top with cheese, and cover grill. Cook until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through (about 2 minutes).
Transfer chicken to a plate; spoon tomato mixture over top. Top with basil.
Dress arugula with remaining tablespoon of oil and Peppadew brine. Serve atop chicken, along with bread.
