Kraft Balsamic Vinaigrette

We soaked the chicken breast in Balsamic vinaigrette all day. Diced a red tomato from the garden and mixed it into a bowl with Italian Seasoning and garlic (also let sit in fridge all day). Cooked the chicken on the grill, a few minutes prior to being fully cooked, covered the chicken with the tomato mixture and then covered with Kraft Natural Cheese - Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella.

Served with a salad and garlic bread.
