Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped (optional)
  • Olive oil for grilling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. In the last few minutes of grilling, spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, try marinating the chicken in Italian dressing for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • For a lighter version, substitute the mozzarella with part-skim mozzarella or use less cheese.
