- Prepare outdoor grill for indirect grilling over medium-high heat. Cut chicken breasts horizontally in half, but do not cut all the way through; open flat.
- Spread inside chicken breasts with pesto; top with cheese and tomatoes. Drizzle with 1 ½ teaspoons reserved oil; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold chicken to enclose filling; rub with remaining 1 ½ teaspoons reserved oil and sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Secure with toothpicks.
- Place chicken on hot grill rack over unlit side of grill; cover and cook 20 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 135°. Transfer chicken to hot grill rack over lit side of grill; cover and cook 8 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken and filling reaches 165°, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer chicken to cutting board; loosely cover with aluminum foil and let stand 5 minutes.
