1

Preheat the Weber Q 2000 grill and cast iron skillet for 10 to 15 minutes.

2

Prepare the chicken breasts by cutting into the side and opening them like a book to create two smaller portions of even thickness.

3

If necessary, use wax or parchment paper and a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness.

4

Drizzle olive oil on the chicken breasts and spread it evenly with clean hands.

5

Season the chicken with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, patting it into the surface.

6

Flip the chicken breasts and repeat the oiling and seasoning process on the second side.

7

Turn the gas knob on the Weber Q to medium heat and add olive oil to the cast iron skillet.

8

Place the chicken breast halves on the grill grate, press down gently, and close the lid to cook for 5 minutes.

9

After 5 minutes, open the lid, rock the skillet to spread the oil, and add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 diced shallot, and 1-2 cloves of chopped garlic to the skillet, mixing well.

10

Flip the chicken breasts to check for grill marks, then close the lid and cook for an additional 2.5 minutes.

11

After 2.5 minutes, add kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh basil leaves to the skillet, mixing everything together.

12

Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar into the skillet and mix again.

13

Close the lid and let everything cook for another 2.5 minutes, totaling 10 minutes of cook time.

14

After 10 minutes, remove the chicken from the grill and assemble the dish by spooning the warm tomato salad on top of the chicken.
