Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cups fresh tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup red onion
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, dice the fresh tomatoes and chop the red onion finely. Chop the fresh basil leaves as well.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to mix the flavors. Set aside as a fresh topping for the chicken.

Step 6

Once the grill is ready, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken with the fresh tomato and basil topping. Enjoy your meal!
