Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
1 tsp ground fennel seeds
1 tsp red pepper flakes
¾ cup (180 ml) homemade or store-bought tomato sauce
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese (250 g), cut into pieces (see note)

Preparation

Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
On a large plate, sprinkle the chicken with the ground fennel and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the chicken.
Grill the chicken for 4 minutes on one side. Flip the meat over. Cover with the tomato sauce, cheese and olives. Grill for another 4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat. Garnish with the basil.
Serve with buttered pasta or a green salad, if desired.

Note from Ricardo

Fresh mozzarella, burrata or bocconcini are all great options for this recipe. Provolone cheese is another good alternative.
