Directions
Grill chicken 16 to 18 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees, turning once halfway through.
Meanwhile, grill bread top and bottom halves, buttered sides down, for 5 yo 7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning halfway through. If necessary, use a spray bottle filled with water to put out flare-ups. Place tomatoes in a grill basket. Grill 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly charred, turning frequently.
For dressing, combine 1/2 cup grilled tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper into a small bowl; smash tomatoes with a fork to release juices. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and mustard.
To assemble salad, cut chicken and bread into 1-inch pieces. Add chicken, bread, remaining grilled tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon basil into a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad; toss to combine. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
