Creating Easy Grilled Chicken Margherita is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high temperature.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken over and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add the Toppings: In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, place the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on top of each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
6. Remove and Garnish: Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the grill. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
7. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top for added flavor.
