GRILLED CHICKEN MARGHERITA!!!!

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to less than 1 inch thickness

salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (OR 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano + 1/4 teaspoon dried basil + 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)

4 slices mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup basil pesto (try my Easy 5 Minute Pesto Recipe – it’s the best!!)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup packed basil leaves, very thinly sliced

cracked black pepper

 

 

Instructions:

In a large bowl combine chicken, salt and pepper, olive oil, garlic power, and Italian seasoning. Toss to combine.

Grill chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of mozzarella cheese and cook another minute or so until melted.

Toss tomatoes, lemon juice, and basil together. Top each chicken breast with about 3 tablespoons pesto, a scoop of tomatoes, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
