fresh mozzarella

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while shredded mozzarella is often less expensive.

balsamic glaze

🥗Healthier: balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: homemade balsamic reduction

Balsamic vinegar is a healthier option with less sugar, and homemade reduction can be made at a lower cost.

1

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts to help the seasoning stick.

8

Flip the chicken over and warm up the balsamic glaze in a sauce pot on the grill.

Cook for another 10 minutes, checking the chicken's internal temperature.

10

When the chicken reaches 150°F, place mozzarella slices on top to melt.
