🥄Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to less than 1 inch thickness Salt and pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 2 slices mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup basil pesto 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup packed basil leaves, thinly sliced Cracked black pepper, to taste
🥄Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings.
Heat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast and let it melt for about a minute or until nicely melted.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, gently toss the halved cherry tomatoes, fresh lemon juice, and thinly sliced basil leaves together.
To serve, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of basil pesto over each chicken breast and top with the tomato and basil mixture. Sprinkle some cracked black pepper on top for extra flavor.
