Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil for the grill grates

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your gas grill to medium heat (around 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates using cooking spray or an oil-soaked paper towel.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface or cutting board. If they are uneven in thickness, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Brush both sides of each chicken breast evenly with the olive oil mixture.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on the first side, or until grill marks appear and the chicken releases easily from the grates.

Step 5

Flip the chicken and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F using an instant-read thermometer.

Step 6

While the chicken is grilling, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan on medium heat or in the microwave.

Step 7

Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the grill heat to low. Spoon a generous amount of warmed marinara sauce on top of each chicken breast.

Step 8

Place slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce on each chicken breast. Sprinkle a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella.

Step 9

Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish each piece with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.

Step 11

Serve immediately with a side of pasta, vegetables, or a green salad for a complete meal. Enjoy your grilled Chicken Parmesan!
