Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh mozzarella, halved grape tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to combine and set aside.

Place each butterflied chicken breast on a cutting board. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Carefully spoon the Caprese stuffing mixture into the center of each butterflied chicken breast. Fold the chicken breast over the filling to enclose it. If needed, secure the opening with one or two wooden toothpicks to keep the stuffing inside during cooking.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The mozzarella should be melted and bubbly.

While the chicken bakes, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and let it gently reduce for 8-12 minutes, or until thickened to a syrupy consistency. Be careful not to burn it.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove any toothpicks. Drizzle the warm balsamic glaze generously over each Caprese stuffed chicken breast.
