Ingredients

• 6 pieces Tostada shells
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Then, chop it into small pieces or shred it.

Step 4

While the chicken rests, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Place the tostada shells on a large baking sheet. Lightly brush each shell with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Top each tostada shell with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, followed by the grilled chicken pieces, and an even layer of halved cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

Bake the tostada pizzas in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the tostada pizzas from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh basil slices.

Step 9

Drizzle balsamic glaze over each tostada pizza for a sweet and tangy finish.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Margherita Tostada Pizzas!
