For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before grilling. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the tomato topping, such as oregano or thyme. To prevent sticking, make sure your grill is very clean and well-oiled before adding the chicken. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato topping.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap (or inside a resealable freezer bag). Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken to an even 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderizes the meat. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Season the Chicken: Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. This simple seasoning enhances the chicken’s natural flavor without overpowering the fresh tomato topping. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside. Look for beautiful grill marks for added flavor and visual appeal. (10-16 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Tomato-Basil Topping: While the chicken is grilling, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, green onions, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Gently toss to combine. The acidity of the lemon juice brightens the flavors and complements the richness of the chicken. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Assemble and Finish: Place a square of aluminum foil on the grill for each chicken breast. Transfer a grilled chicken breast onto each foil square. Top each breast with about 1/4 cup of the tomato mixture, then sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Melt the Cheese: Close the lid of the grill and continue grilling for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is melted and the tomato topping is heated through. The foil prevents the topping from falling through the grates and keeps the chicken moist. (2-3 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Serve: Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill. Serve immediately.
