2 tablespoons oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (OR ¼ teaspoon each dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Tomato Basil Topping

3 roma tomatoes diced

Instructions

In a large bowl combine chicken, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine and coat chicken evenly with the seasonings.

Grill chicken over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

While chicken is cooking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl combine tomatoes, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and basil and stir well.

Once chicken is cooked through, top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and cook for about 1 minute longer until cheese is melty.

Top chicken with tomato basil topping and serve immediately.
