How to Make Grilled Chicken Sandwiches With Mozzarella Tomato And Basil
- Whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, toss 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil mixture.

- Top with 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and 1 cup fresh basil leaves.
