Servings: 4 Prep 15 mins Cook 5 mins Grill 12 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tomatoes (about 1 pound), seeds removed, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5 ounces each)
  • 3 ounces shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
  • 3 ounces whole wheat angel hair pasta, cooked following package directions (about 5 minutes)

Make It

1. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, mustard, mint, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper. Gradually drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly, so mixture emulsifies.

2. In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, basil and 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Cover and set aside.

3. Heat a gas grill to medium-high or the coals in a charcoal grill to medium-hot. Lightly coat grill rack with oil or nonstick cooking spray.

4. Brush chicken with remaining dressing and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Scatter cheese over top during last minute of cooking.

5. Toss cooked pasta with half of the tomato salad. Serve with chicken and remaining tomato salad.
