For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic glaze to the tomato salad. If you don't have a grill, you can pan-fry the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the tomato salad, such as oregano or thyme.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: On a clean work surface, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create 8 thinner cutlets. This ensures even and quicker cooking. (5 minutes)
02
StepMarinate the Chicken: In a gallon-sized resealable bag, whisk together olive oil and salad dressing mix. Add the chicken cutlets, seal the bag, and massage to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate. (Marinating: 1 hour - 8 hours)
03
StepPrepare the Tomato Salad: While the chicken marinates, prepare the tomato salad. In a large bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped shallot, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, thinly sliced fresh basil, minced garlic, capers (with their brine for extra flavor), kosher salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine. Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep: 15 minutes, Resting: up to 1 hour)
04
StepGrill the Chicken: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat (350-375°F or 175-190°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepCook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Arrange the chicken cutlets on the preheated grill. Cook, covered, turning once halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F (74°C). This should take approximately 8-10 minutes. (8-10 minutes)
06
StepAssemble and Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter. Generously top each cutlet with the fresh tomato salad. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus. (5 minutes)
