1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let it rest.

3
Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.
4
Add Olive Oil
With the food processor running, slowly add olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5
Slice the Chicken
Once the grilled chicken has rested, slice it into thick strips.
6
Add Mozzarella
Place slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the sliced chicken.
7
Top with Pesto
Drizzle the prepared basil pesto generously over the chicken and mozzarella.
