Slice the chicken into long, thin strips. Place them between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them as flat as possible.
1.1 lbs chicken breast
Cut the mozzarella into small strips (about ½ × ¾ inch (1 × 1 ½ cm)). Wrap each piece in one or two basil leaves.
1 cup buffalo mozzarella, ½ oz. fresh basil
Roll each mozzarella parcel inside a strip of chicken. Repeat until all chicken is used.
Thread three rolls onto skewers, adding a cherry tomato in between.
2 oz. cherry tomatoes
Brush the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Grill for 8-10 minutes on a hot barbecue or grill, turning often until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately.

1. No grill at home? No problem! Use a grill pan or bake them under your oven broiler.

2. Can I use other vegetables? Bell peppers or zucchini also work great on these skewers.

3. Can I make this with turkey? Yes, turkey breast is a good alternative and just as easy to roll.

4. How do I know if the chicken is done? It should be white and firm inside.

5. Also tasty

With pesto: Spread a little green pesto on the chicken before adding the mozzarella package. It gives some extra flavor.

6. Storage

Prep ahead: You can prepare the skewers a day in advance. Store covered in the fridge.
Leftover refrigerator: Cooked skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Reheat: Warm gently in the oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for approximately 10 minutes or in a skillet.
