Grilled chicken breasts topped with a savory tomato-basil topping and Parmesan. Great over angel hair pasta! Ingredients:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
3 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
6 8x8-inch squares of heavy duty aluminum foil |
Directions:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
2. Place the chicken breast halves between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of garlic salt.
3. Grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink inside and the chicken has good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Move chicken to a cooler part of the grill to keep warm.
4. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the tomatoes, basil, green onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl.
5. Place an 8-inch square piece of aluminum foil onto the grill, and move a cooked chicken breast onto the foil. Top the chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle the topping with about 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese. Repeat for the other pieces of chicken.
6. Close the lid on the grill, and grill the chicken breasts until the topping is hot, 2 to 3 more minutes.
