Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil with lemon juice, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Place chicken breasts in a large plastic bag or shallow baking dish and pour marinade over the top. Refrigerate chicken for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
Combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, basil and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Remove from the grill and divide tomato basil topping evenly among the chicken breasts. Serve immediately.
