Instructions

  1. Microwave 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in bowl until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic, and a pinch of pepper flakes. Brush the two halves of ½ large loaf soft Italian bread with butter mixture. Reassemble loaf and wrap in foil.
  2. Lay 1 large piece of foil on counter and top with large piece of parchment. Combine 1½ pounds cherry tomatoes, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and ½ teaspoon salt on parchment. Gather edges of foil and parchment over tomatoes and crimp to seal, leaving small opening. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Grill 4 (6 to 8 ounce) trimmed, boneless, skinless chicken breasts; bread; and tomatoes over hot fire. Cook chicken and bread until chicken is charred and cooked through and bread is toasted, 8 to 12 minutes, flipping as needed for even browning (peel foil to check bread color). Cook tomatoes until they burst, 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Slice chicken and bread. Divide chicken, tomatoes, and 1 (8 ounce) quartered, room temperature ball burrata cheese among individual plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve with bread.
