Imagine tender grilled chicken breasts, perfectly seasoned and topped with melted mozzarella cheese that oozes over ripe, juicy tomato slices and fragrant basil leaves. Forget the take out and try this instead!
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush chicken with olive oil mixture and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling. In a separate bowl, mix cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, basil pesto, and sliced basil leaves. Spoon tomato mixture over grilled chicken. Garnish with cracked black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Margherita!
