  • Prep 25 min
  • Total 55 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb)
  • 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper blend
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 4 thin slices tomato
  • 4 slices (1/2 to 3/4 oz each) provolone cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Place chicken in shallow dish. Pour dressing over chicken. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Heat closed medium-size contact grill for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Sprinkle chicken with garlic pepper. Place chicken on grill. Close grill. Grill 4 to 6 minutes, brushing with marinade once, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Discard remaining marinade.
  • 3
    Sprinkle each chicken breast with basil; top with tomato and cheese. Let stand on grill 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

  • For a nice change of flavor, you could use mozzarella cheese instead of the provolone and substitute Caesar dressing for the Italian.
  • Serve the cheese-topped chicken on toasted French bread slices with lettuce and sliced red onion.
